6. We have sinned with Avoteinu, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7. Avoteinu had no seichal concerning Thy nifla'ot (wonders) in Mitzrayim; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies but provoked Him at the yam, even at the Yam Suf.
8. Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of Shmo, that He might make His gevu'rot (mighty power) to be known.
9. He rebuked the Yam Suf also, and it dried up; so He led them through the tehomot, as through the midbar.
10. And He saved them from the yad of him that hated them, and He acted to make the go'el redemption from the yad of the oyev (enemy).
11. And the mayim covered their enemies; there was not echad (one) of them left surviving.
12. Then believed they in His Devarim; they sang His tehillah.
13. Then they hurried, they forgot His ma'asim; they waited not for His etzah (counsel, advice, wisdom);
14. But lusted exceedingly in the midbar, and tempted G-d in the desert.
15. And He gave them their she'elah (request); but sent leanness into their nefesh.
16. They envied Moshe also in the machaneh, and Aharon the kadosh Hashem (Aaron the holy one of Hashem).
17. Eretz opened and swallowed up Datan and covered over the Adat Aviram (the company of Aviram).
18. And an eish was kindled in their edah (assembly); the flame burned up the resha'im.
19. They made an egel (a calf) in Chorev, and worshiped a massekhah (molden image).
20. Thus they exchanged their kavod for a tavnit shor (likeness of an ox) that eateth esev (grass).
