Nehemiah 9:9-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

9. “You saw the misery of our ancestors in Egypt, and you heard their shout at the Red Sea.

10. You 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.

11. And 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.

12. You 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.

13. Then you came down on Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven and gave them right judgments and true teachings, good regulations and commandments.

14. You made known your holy Sabbath to them and gave them commandments, regulations, and law by the hand of your servant Moses.

15. You 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.
