Douay-Rheims: Exodus 14:21-31; 15:1

^14:21And when Moses had stretched forth his hand over the sea, the Lord took it away by a strong and burning wind blowing all the night, and turned it into dry ground: and the water was divided. ²²And the children of Israel went in through the midst of the sea dried up: for the water was as a wall on their right hand and on their left. ²³And the Egyptians pursuing went in after them, and all Pharao’s horses, his chariots and horsemen through the midst of the sea, ²⁴And now the morning watch was come, and behold the Lord looking upon the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, slew their host. ²⁵And overthrew the wheels of the chariots, and they were carried into the deep. And the Egyptians said: Let us flee from Israel: for the Lord fighteth for them against us. ²⁶And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and horsemen. ²⁷And when Moses had stretched forth his hand towards the sea, it returned at the first break of day to the former place: and as the Egyptians were fleeing away, the waters came upon them, and the Lord shut them up in the middle of the waves. ²⁸And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the army of Pharao, who had come into the sea after them, neither did there so much as one of them remain. ²⁹But the children of Israel marched through the midst of the sea upon dry land, and the waters were to them as a wall on the right hand and on the left: ³⁰And the Lord delivered Israel on that day out of the hands of the Egyptians. ³¹And they saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore, and the mighty hand that the Lord had used against them: and the people feared the Lord, and they believed the Lord, and Moses his servant.

^15:1Then Moses and the children of Israel sung this canticle to the Lord: and said: Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and the rider he hath thrown into the sea.

Douay-Rheims: Exodus 15:8-10, 12, 17

⁸And with the blast of thy anger the waters were gathered together: the flowing water stood, the depths were gathered together in the midst of the sea. ⁹The enemy said: I will pursue and overtake, I will divide the spoils, my soul shall have its fill: I will draw my sword, my hand shall slay them. ¹⁰Thy wind blew and the sea covered them: they sunk as lead in the mighty waters.

¹²Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the earth swallowed them.

¹⁷Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, in thy most firm habitation which thou hast made, O Lord; thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

Douay-Rheims: Matthew 12:46-50

⁴⁶As he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him. ⁴⁷And one said unto him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking thee. ⁴⁸But he answering him that told him, said: Who is my mother, and who are my brethren? ⁴⁹And stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said: Behold my mother and my brethren. ⁵⁰For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
