Context of Isaiah 63:12

10But they rebelled And grieved His Holy Spirit; Therefore He changed into their enemy, And He fought against them. 11Then His people remembered the days of old, of Moses [and they said], Where is He who brought our fathers up out of the [Red] Sea, with the shepherds of His flock [Moses and Aaron]? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit in their midst, Who caused His glorious arm and infinite power to go at the right hand of Moses, Dividing the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name, 13Who led them through the depths [of the Red Sea], Like a horse in the wilderness, [so that] they did not stumble? 14Like the cattle that go down into the valley [to find better pasture and rest], The Spirit of the Lord gave them rest. So You led Your people [O Lord] To make for Yourself a beautiful and glorious name [preparing the way for the acknowledgment of Your name by all nations].
