Nechemyah 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 ) .

Nechemyah 9:10 In-Context

8 And foundest his lev ne’eman before Thee, and madest habrit (the covenant) with him to give the eretz HaKena’ani, the Chitti, the Emori, and the Perizzi, and the Yevusi, and the Girgashi, to give it to his zera, and hast performed Thy words; for Thou art tzaddik;
9 And didst see the affliction of Avoteinu in Mitzrayim, and heardest their cry by the Yam Suf;
10 And showedst otot and mofetim upon Pharaoh, and on all his avadim, and on kol HaAm of his land; for Thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst Thou get Thee a Shem, as it is this day.
11 And Thou didst divide the yam before them, so that they went through the midst of the yam on the yabashah; and their persecutors Thou threwest into the depths, as an even (stone) into the mighty waters.
12 Moreover Thou leddest them in the day by an Ammud Anan; and in the night by an Ammud Eish, to give them ohr in the way wherein they should go.
