9 1"And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt and heard 2their cry at the Red Sea,
10 3and performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people of his land, for you knew that 4they acted arrogantly against our fathers. And 5you made a name for yourself, as it is to this day.
11 6And 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, 7as a stone into mighty waters.
12 By 8a 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.
13 9You came down on Mount Sinai 10and spoke with them from heaven and gave them 11right rules and true laws, good statutes and commandments,
14 12and you made known to them your holy Sabbath and commanded them commandments and statutes and a law by Moses your servant.
15 13You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger and 14brought water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and you 15told them to go in to possess the land that you had sworn to give them.

Nehemiah 9:9-15 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO NEHEMIAH 9

In this chapter we have an account of a fast kept by the Jews, which was observed, as by outward acts of humiliation, so by confession of sin, reading the law, and worshipping the Lord, Ne 9:1-3 and of a long prayer that the Levites made, in which they celebrate the divine perfections, take notice of various instances of the goodness of God to the people of Israel, acknowledge their manifold transgressions, observe the Lord's correction of them for them, in which they own he was righteous, Ne 9:4-38.
