Nehemiah 9:11 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 9:11

And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went
through the midst of the sea on dry land
That is, the Israelites, see ( Exodus 14:21 ) ,

and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps;
with great ease, and with indignation, meaning the Egyptians, that pursued hotly after them, and were thrown into the sea:

as a stone into the mighty waters;
where they sunk and perished, see ( Exodus 15:4 Exodus 15:10 ) .

Nehemiah 9:11 In-Context

9 et vidisti adflictionem patrum nostrorum in Aegypto clamoremque eorum audisti super mare Rubrum

10 et dedisti signa et portenta in Pharao et in universis servis eius et in omni populo terrae illius cognovisti enim quia superbe egerant contra eos et fecisti tibi nomen sicut et in hac die

11 et mare divisisti ante eos et transierunt per medium maris in sicca persecutores autem eorum proiecisti in profundum quasi lapidem in aquas validas

12 et in columna nubis ductor eorum fuisti per diem et in columna ignis per noctem ut appareret eis via per quam ingrediebantur

13 ad montem quoque Sinai descendisti et locutus es cum eis de caelo et dedisti eis iudicia recta et legem veritatis caerimonias et praecepta bona
