Nehemiah 9:9-15

9You saw how our ancestors suffered in Egypt, and you heard them crying at the Red Sea.

10You 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.

13You came from heaven to Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven. You gave them fair rules, trustworthy teachings, and good laws and commandments.

14You taught them about your holy day of rest. You gave them commandments, laws, and teachings through your servant Moses.

15You gave them bread from heaven to satisfy their hunger and made water flow from a rock to quench their thirst. You told them to take possession of the land that you swore you would give them.
