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 ) .

8 and foundest his heart faithful before thee, and thou hast smitten with him a bond of peace, that thou wouldest give to him the land of Canaanites, of Hittites, of Hivites, of Amorites, and of Perizzites, and of Jebusites, and of Girgashites, that thou wouldest give it to his seed; and thou hast fulfilled thy words, for thou art just. (and foundest that his heart was faithful before thee, and so thou madest a covenant with him, that thou wouldest give him the land of the Canaanites, and Hittites, Hivites, and Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites, yea, that thou wouldest give it all to his descendants; and thou hast fulfilled thy words, for thou art just.)
