1 Maccabees 4:9

9 Remember how our ancestors were saved at the Red Sea, when Pharaoh was pursuing them with his forces.

1 Maccabees 4:9 In-Context

7 They saw the Gentile camp, strongly fortified, surrounded by cavalry clearly trained in warfare.

8 Judas said to those who were with him: "Don't fear their numbers or be afraid when they charge.

9 Remember how our ancestors were saved at the Red Sea, when Pharaoh was pursuing them with his forces.

10 So let's cry to heaven to see if the heavenly one will favor us and remember his covenant with our ancestors and crush this army in front of us today.

11 Then all the Gentiles will know that there is someone who redeems and saves Israel."
