Context of Nehemiah 9:14

12You guided them with a pillar of cloud by day and with a pillar of fire by night to illumine for them the path they were to travel. 13“You came down on Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven. You provided them with just judgments, true laws, and good statutes and commandments. You made known to them your holy Sabbath; you issued commandments, statutes, and law to them through Moses your servant. 15You provided bread from heaven for them in their time of hunger, and you brought forth water from the rock for them in their time of thirst. You told them to enter in order to possess the land that you had sworn to give them. 16“But they – our ancestors – behaved presumptuously; they rebelled and did not obey your commandments.

When confessing our sins, it is good to notice the mercies of God, that we may be the more humbled and ashamed.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 12-21This prayer reminded the people of God's miraculous guidance of Israel in the wilderness (Exodus 13:21–22), his personal appearance at Mount Sinai to reveal his covenant laws through Moses (see Exodus 19–20), and his faithfulness in providing bread and water (see Exodus 16:4; 17:1–6).
