Context of Nehemiah 9:10

8You found that his heart was faithful to you. You made a promise to him to give the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites to his descendants. You kept your promise because you are fair. 9You saw how our ancestors suffered in Egypt, and you heard them crying at the Red Sea. You performed miraculous signs and did amazing things to Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people in his land because you knew how arrogantly they were treating our ancestors. You made a name for yourself, a name which remains to this day. 11You divided the sea in front of them so that they could walk through the sea on dry ground. You threw into deep water those who pursued your people as someone throws a stone into raging water. 12You led them during the day by a column of smoke and during the night by a column of fire to give them light to see the way they should go.
