Nehemiah 9:10 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 9:10

And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his
servants, and on all the people of his land
By inflicting the ten plagues upon them:

for thou knowest that they dealt proudly against them;
behaved haughtily to them, and despised them, see ( Exodus 18:11 )

so didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day;
displayed his power on Pharaoh, and his goodness to Israel, the fame of which reached all over the world, and continued to that day, see ( Exodus 9:16 ) .

Nehemiah 9:10 In-Context

8 You found his heart faithful before you, and made with him the covenant to give to his offspring the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite. And you have kept your promise, for you are righteous.
9 "And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt and heard their cry at the Red Sea,
10 and performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people of his land, for you knew that they acted arrogantly against our fathers. And you made a name for yourself, as it is to this day.
11 And you divided the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on dry land, and you cast their pursuers into the depths, as a stone into mighty waters.
12 By a pillar of cloud you led them in the day, and by a pillar of fire in the night to light for them the way in which they should go.
