Nehemiah 9:9–15

⁹“You saw the misery of our ancestors^d in Egypt, and you heard their shout at the Red Sea. ¹⁰You gave signs and wonders against Pharaoh, all of his servants, and all of the people of his land because you knew that they acted arrogantly against them. You made a name for yourself, as it is this day. ¹¹And you divided the sea before them, and they passed through the sea on dry ground, but their pursuers you threw into the depths like a stone into mighty waters. ¹²You led them by day with a column of cloud and with a column of fire by night, to give them light on the way that they were to go. ¹³Then you came down on Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven and gave them right judgments and true teachings, good regulations and commandments. ¹⁴You made known your holy Sabbath to them and gave them commandments, regulations, and law^e by the hand of your servant Moses. ¹⁵You gave them bread from heaven for their starvation, and you caused water to go out from a rock for their thirst. You told them to go in order to take into possession the land that you have sworn by your hand to give to them.
