God's Deliverance in the Exodus
Nehemiah 9:9-15
9
"'You saw the distress of our ancestors in Egypt and heard their cry by the Sea of Suf.
10
You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, against all his servants and the people of the land; for you knew how arrogantly they treated them; and you won yourself a name which is yours to this day.
11
You divided the sea ahead of them, so that they could pass through the sea on dry land; then you hurled their pursuers into the depths, like a stone into turbulent waters.
12
"'In a column of cloud you led them by day, and by night in a column of fire, so that they would have light ahead of them on the way that they were to go.
13
"'You descended on Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven. You gave them right rulings and true teachings, good laws and mitzvot.
14
You revealed to them your holy Shabbat and gave them mitzvot, laws and the Torah through Moshe your servant.
15
"'For their hunger you gave them bread from heaven; for their thirst you brought forth for them water from the rock. You ordered them to enter and possess the land you had sworn with your hand to give them.
