So that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land;
And their persecutors You threw into the deep,
bAs a stone into the mighty waters.
And by night with a pillar of fire,
To give them light on the road
Which they should travel.
And spoke with them from heaven,
And gave them bjust ordinances and true laws,
Good statutes and commandments.
And commanded them precepts, statutes and laws,
By the hand of Moses Your servant.
And bbrought them water out of the rock for their thirst,
And told them to cgo in to possess the land
Which You had1 sworn to give them.
bHardened1 their necks,
And did not heed Your commandments.
And1 athey were not mindful of Your wonders
That You did among them.
But they hardened their necks,
And in their rebellion
They appointed ba leader
To return to their bondage.
But You are God,
Ready to pardon,
cGracious and merciful,
Slow to anger,
Abundant in kindness,
And did not forsake them.
And said, ‘This is your god
That brought you up out of Egypt,’
And worked great provocations,
You did not forsake them in the wilderness.
The bpillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day,
To lead them on the road;
Nor the pillar of fire by night,
To show them light,
And the way they should go.
