13. You came down also upon mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
14. And made known unto them your holy sabbath, and commanded them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses your servant:
15. And gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promised them that they should go in to possess the land which you had sworn to give them.
16. But they and our fathers acted presumptuously, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to your commandments,
17. And refused to obey, neither were mindful of your wonders that you did among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a leader to return to their bondage: but you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsook them not.
18. Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is your God that brought you up out of Egypt, and had worked great provocations;
19. Yet you in your manifold mercies forsook them not in the wilderness: the pillar of cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.
20. You gave also your good spirit to instruct them, and withheld not your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.
21. Yea, forty years did you sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes grew not old, and their feet swelled not.
