Nehemiah 9:7-11 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

7. You are the Lord, the God who chose Abram. You led him from Ur in Babylonia. You changed his name to Abraham.

8. You saw he was true and loyal to you, and you made an agreement with him. You promised to give him the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites. But you promised to give that land to Abraham’s descendants. And you kept your promise because you are good.

9. You saw our ancestors suffering in Egypt and heard them call for help by the Red Sea.

10. You showed the miracles to Pharaoh. You did amazing things to his officials and his people. You knew that the Egyptians thought they were better than our ancestors. But you proved how great you are, and they remember that even today.

11. You split the Red Sea in front of them, and they walked through on dry land. The Egyptian soldiers were chasing them, but you threw that enemy into the sea. And they sank like a rock into the sea.
