Translation

and there was none in their tribes [who was] infirm./ Egypt was glad at their departure:/ because fear of them lay on them./ He unfolded a cloud for their protection:/ and fire to give them light by night./ They asked and quail came:/ and he filled them with the bread of heaven./ He divided the rock and waters flowed:/ rivers ran in the dry ground./ Because he remembered his holy word:/ which he had held [in the sense of promised] to his servant abraham./ And he brought out his people with joy: and his chosen ones in gladness./ And he gave them the territories of the nations:/ and they had the labours of the peoples./ That they might keep his just dealings:/ and seek after his law./

Transcription

et non erat in tribub[us] eor[um] infirmus. / L[a]etata est egyptus in profectione eor[um]: / quia incubuit timor eor[um] super eos. / Expandit nubem in protectione[m] eor[um]: / et igne[m] ut luceret eis p[er] noctem. / P[a]etierunt et venit coturnix: / et pane c[a]eli saturavit eos. / Dirupit petram et fluxerunt aqu[a]e: / abierunt in sicco flumina. / Q[uonia]m memor fuit verbi s[an]c[t]i sui: / quod habuit ad abraham pueru[m] suu[m]. / Et eduxit populum suu[m] in exultatione: / et electos suos in l[a]etitia. / Et dedit illis regiones gentium: / et labores populor[um] possederunt. / Ut custodiant iustificationes ei[us]: / et legem eius requirant. /
