in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.18

and with the light of a fire all night long.

and gave them enough water to fill the depths of the sea.19

They forgot his works

and the wonders that he had shown them.

In the sight of their fathers he performed wonders

in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.

He divided the sea and let them pass through it,

and made the waters stand like a heap.

In the daytime he led them with a cloud,

and all the night with a fiery light.

He split rocks in the wilderness

and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.

He made streams come out of the rock

and caused waters to flow down like rivers.

They forgot what he had done,

the wonders he had shown them.

He did miracles in the sight of their ancestors

in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.

He divided the sea and led them through;

he made the water stand up like a wall.

He split the rocks in the wilderness

and gave them water as abundant as the seas;

he brought streams out of a rocky crag

and made water flow down like rivers.

and with a fiery light throughout the night.

He split rocks in the wilderness

and gave them drink as abundant as the depths.

He brought streams out of the stone

and made water flow down like rivers.

NLTNew Living Translation

They forgot what he had done—

the great wonders he had shown them,

the miracles he did for their ancestors

on the plain of Zoan in the land of Egypt.

For he divided the sea and led them through,

making the water stand up like walls!

In the daytime he led them by a cloud,

and all night by a pillar of fire.

He split open the rocks in the wilderness

to give them water, as from a gushing spring.

He made streams pour from the rock,

making the waters flow down like a river!

and he caused waters to stand like a heap.

And he led them with the cloud by day,

and all night with a fiery light.

He caused rocks to split in the wilderness

and provided drink abundantly as from the depths.

And he brought streams out of the rock

and caused water to flow down like rivers.

And forgat his works,

And his wonders that he had shewed them.

Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers,

In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through;

And he made the waters to stand as an heap.

In the daytime also he led them with a cloud,

And all the night with a light of fire.

He clave the rocks in the wilderness,

And gave them drink as out of the great depths.

He brought streams also out of the rock,

And caused waters to run down like rivers.
