Nehemiah 9:9-15 ▼

9 “You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, And heard their cry by the Red Sea.

10 Then You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, Against all his servants and all the people of his land; For You knew that they acted presumptuously toward them, And made a name for Yourself as it is this day.

11 You split the sea before them, So they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; And their pursuers You cast into the depths, Like a stone into mighty waters.

12 And with a pillar of cloud You led them by day, And with a pillar of fire by night To light for them the way In which they were to go.

13 Then You came down on Mount Sinai, And spoke with them from heaven; You gave them upright judgments and true laws, Good statutes and commandments.

14 So You made known to them Your holy sabbath, And commanded to them commandments, statutes and law, By the hand of Your servant Moses.

15 You gave bread from heaven for them for their hunger, You brought forth water from a rock for them for their thirst, And You said to them to enter in order to possess The land which You swore to give them.
