Nehemiah 9:9–15

⁹“You saw the suffering of our ancestors in Egypt;^x you heard their cry at the Red Sea.^{by 10}You sent signs^z and wonders^a against Pharaoh, against all his officials and all the people of his land, for you knew how arrogantly the Egyptians treated them. You made a name^b for yourself,^c which remains to this day. ¹¹You divided the sea before them,^d so that they passed through it on dry ground, but you hurled their pursuers into the depths,^e like a stone into mighty waters.^{f 12}By day^g you led^h them with a pillar of cloud,ⁱ and by night with a pillar of fire to give them light on the way they were to take.

¹³“You came down on Mount Sinai;^j you spoke^k to them from heaven.^l You gave them regulations and laws that are just^m and right, and decrees and commands that are good.^{n 14}You made known to them your holy Sabbath^o and gave them commands, decrees and laws through your servant Moses. ¹⁵In their hunger you gave them bread from heaven^p and in their thirst you brought them water from the rock;^q you told them to go in and take possession of the land you had sworn with uplifted hand^r to give them.^s
