Neh. 9:7‑15,19‑21,27,31• 7{i}Thou art the Same, Jehovah Elohim, who didst choose Abram and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;{/i}
8{i}and foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest the covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, —to give it to his seed; and thou hast performed thy words, for thou art righteous.{/i}
9{i}And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red Sea;{/i}
10{i}and didst show signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants, and upon all the people of his land; for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them, and thou didst make thee a name, as it is this day.{/i}
11{i}And thou didst divide the sea before them, and they went through the midst of the sea on dry ground; and their pursuers thou threwest into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters.{/i}
12{i}And thou leddest them in the day by a pillar of cloud, and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.{/i}
13{i}And thou camest down on mount Sinai, and didst speak with them from the heavens, and gavest them right judgments and true laws, good statutes and commandments.{/i}
14{i}And thou madest known unto them thy holy Sabbath, and prescribedst for them commandments and statutes and a law, through Moses thy servant.{/i}
15{i}And thou gavest them bread from the heavens for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and didst say to them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.{/i}
19{i}yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness. The pillar of the cloud departed not from over them by day, to lead them on the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way wherein they should go.{/i}
20{i}Thou gavest also thy good Spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.{/i}
21{i}Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing; their clothes grew not old, and their feet swelled not.{/i}
27{i}And thou gavest them into the hand of their oppressors, and they oppressed them; and in the time of their distress, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from the heavens, and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their oppressors.{/i}
31{i}Nevertheless for thy manifold mercies' sake, thou didst not make a full end of them nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.{/i} (Neh. 9:7‑15,19‑21,27,31)
Psa. 78:11‑72• 11And they forgot his deeds{HR}And his wondrous works{HR}Which he caused them to see.
12In the sight of their fathers{HR}He wrought wonders in the land of Egypt,{HR}The field of Zoan.
13He clave the sea and caused them to pass through{HR}And made the waters to stand as a heap;
14And he led them with a cloud by day{HR}And all the night with light of fire.
15He clave rocks in the wilderness,{HR}And gave drink as the depths abundantly,
16He brought streams from the rock (crag){HR}And caused waters to come down like the rivers.
17Yet they still went on to sin against him,{HR}To rebel against the Most High in the desert (dry);
18And they tempted God in their hearts{HR}By asking food for their lust (souls).
19And they spoke against God; they said,{HR}Shall God be able to furnish a table in the wilderness?
20Behold, he smote the rock,{HR}And waters gushed out,{HR}And streams overflowed;{HR}Can he give bread also,{HR}Or provide flesh for his people?
21Therefore Jehovah heard and was wroth;{HR}And fire was kindled against Jacob,{HR}And anger also went up against Israel;
22Because they believed not in God{HR}And trusted not in his salvation.
23Yet he commanded the skies above,{HR}And opened the doors of heaven,
24And he rained upon them manna to eat,{HR}And had given them the corn of the heavens.
25Man did eat the bread of the mighty;{HR}He sent them provision to the full.
26He led forth the east [wind] in the heavens,{HR}And by his strength guided the south [wind],
27And he rained flesh upon them as dust{HR}And winged fowl as sand of the sea,
28And let it fall in the midst of the camp{HR}Round about their habitations.
29And they did eat and were well filled.{HR}He brought to them their desire;
30They were not estranged from their desire;{HR}Their food [was] yet in their mouths,
31When God's anger went up against them and slew their fattest,{HR}And smote down the chosen of Israel.
32For all this they sinned still,{HR}And believed not in his wondrous works;
33He consumed their days in vanity,{HR}And their years in terror.
34When he slew them, then they enquired after him,{HR}And turned and sought God (El) eagerly.
35And they remembered that God [was] their rock,{HR}And God Most High their redeemer.
36And they flattered (enticed) him with their mouth,{HR}And lied to him with their tongue.
37And their heart was not firm with him,{HR}Nor were they steadfast in his covenant.
38But he mercifully forgave iniquity, and destroyed not,{HR}And often withdrew his anger and did not arouse all his wrath;
39And he remembered that they [were] flesh,{HR}A wind passing and not coming again.
40How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness{HR}And grieve him in the desert!
41And they turned again and tempted God ,{HR}And limited the Holy One of Israel.
42They remembered not his hand,{HR}The day when he delivered them from oppression,
43How he set his signs in Egypt{HR}And his wonders in the field of Zoan,
44And turned their rivers to blood,{HR}And their streams that they could not drink.
45He sent among them dogflies, and they devoured them;{HR}And frogs, and they destroyed them.
46And he gave their increase to the caterpillar,{HR}And their labour to the locust.
47He killed their vines with the hail,{HR}And their sycamore trees with the frost,
48And delivered their cattle to the hail{HR}And their flocks to the lightnings.
49He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger,{HR}Wrath, and indignation, and distress,{HR}By sending angels of woes.
50He made a path for his anger,{HR}He withheld their soul from death,{HR}And their life he gave over to the pestilence;
51And he smote every first-born in Egypt,{HR}The first fruits of vigour in the tents of Ham.
52And he made his people go as the sheep,{HR}And guided them as the flock in the wilderness;
53And he led them safely, and they feared not;{HR}And the sea covered their enemies.
54And he brought them to the border of his holiness,{HR}This mountain his right hand purchased,
55And drove out before them nations,{HR}And allotted them by a line [for] an inheritance,{HR}And caused the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents..
56But they tempted and resisted God Most High,{HR}And kept not his testimonies,
57And revolted, and dealt treacherously like their fathers;{HR}They were turned like a deceitful bow.
58And they provoked him to anger with their high places,{HR}And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
59God heard and was wroth{HR}And greatly abhorred Israel.
60And he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,{HR}His tent he pitched among men,
61And gave his strength into captivity,{HR}And his beauty into the oppressor's hand.
62And he gave over to the sword his people,{HR}And was wroth with his inheritance.
63The fire consumed their chosen,{HR}And their maidens were not praised in song;
64Their priests fell by the sword,{HR}And their widows wept not.
65And the Lord awoke as a sleeper,{HR}As a mighty man shouting aloud from wine;
66And he smote his adversaries backward{HR}And put them to everlasting reproach.
67And he rejected the tent of Joseph,{HR}And the tribe of Ephraim did not choose;
68And he chose the tribe of Judah,{HR}The mount Zion which he loved.
69And he built his sanctuary like high [places],{HR}Like the earth he founded forever.
70And he chose David his servant,{HR}And took him from the sheepfold;
71From behind suckling [ewes] he brought him{HR}To feed Jacob his people and Israel his inheritance.
72And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart,{HR}And in the skill of his hands he led them. (Psa. 78:11‑72)
Psa. 105:5‑45• 5Remember his wondrous works which he hath done,{HR}His miracles and the judgments of his mouth,
6O seed of Abraham his servant,{HR}Sons of Jacob, his chosen (ones).
7He, Jehovah, [is] our God;{HR}In all the earth [are] his judgments.
8He remembered forever his covenant,{HR}A word he commanded to a thousand generations,
9Which he ratified (cut) with Abraham,{HR}And his oath to Isaac,
10And he confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,{HR}To Israel an everlasting covenant,
11Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan,{HR}Lot (line) of your inheritance,
12When they were even to be numbered as a few,{HR}And sojourners in it;
13And they walked from nation to nation,{HR}From a kingdom to another people.
14He suffered no man to oppress them{HR}And reproved kings for their sakes,
15[Saying] Touch not mine anointed,{HR}And do my prophets no harm.
16And he called a famine on the land;{HR}Every staff of bread he broke.
17He sent a man before them;{HR}Joseph was sold for a slave.
18They hurt with the fetters his feet;{HR}[Into] iron went his soul,
19Until the time his word came;{HR}Jehovah's saying tried him.
20A king sent and loosed him,{HR}A ruler of peoples,{HR}And set him free.
21He made him lord of his house{HR}And ruler of all his possession,
22To bind his princes at his pleasure (soul),{HR}And make his elders wise.
23And Israel came [into] Egypt,{HR}And Jacob sojourned in Ham's land.
24And he fructified his people greatly,{HR}And made them stronger than their enemies.
25He turned their heart, to hate his people,{HR}To deal craftily with his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant,{HR}[And] Aaron whom he chose.
27They set among them words of his signs{HR}And wonders in Ham's land.
28He sent darkness and made it dark;{HR}And they rebelled not against his words.
29He turned their waters to blood,{HR}And killed their fish.
30Their land swarmed with frogs{HR}In their kings' chambers.
31He spoke, and dog-flies came,{HR}Lice in all their border.
32He made them storms of hail,{HR}Flames of fire in their land.
33And he smote their vines and fig trees,{HR}And broke the trees of their border.
34He spoke, and locusts came and canker-worm,{HR}And there was no number;
35And they devoured every herb in their land,{HR}And ate the fruit of their ground.
36And he smote every firstborn in their land,{HR}Firstfruits of all their strength.
37And he brought them out with silver and gold,{HR}And there was not among their tribes a stumbling [one].
38Egypt was glad at their departure,{HR}For their fear fell upon them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering{HR}And fire to give light [by] night.
40[The people] asked, and he brought quails,{HR}And satisfied them with bread of heaven.
41He opened a rock, and waters gushed forth;{HR}They ran in the dry places, a river.
42For he remembered his holy word{HR}[And] Abraham his servant,
43And he brought forth his people with joy,{HR}His chosen with shouting;
44And he gave them lands of nations,{HR}And they inherited the Gentiles' toil;
45That they might keep his statutes{HR}And observe his laws. Praise ye Jah . (Psa. 105:5‑45)
Ezek. 16:6‑14• 6{i}And I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, and I said unto thee, in thy blood, Live! yea, I said unto thee, in thy blood, Live!{/i}
7{i}I caused thee to multiply, as the bud of the field; and thou didst increase and grow great, and thou camest to fullness of beauty; thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: but thou wast naked and bare.{/i}
8{i}And I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, and behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness; and I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest mine.{/i}
9{i}And I washed thee with water, and thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil;{/i}
10{i}and I clothed thee with embroidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I bound thee about with byssus, and covered thee with silk.{/i}
11{i}And I decked thee with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck;{/i}
12{i}and I put a ring on thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.{/i}
13{i}Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver, and thy raiment was byssus, and silk, and embroidered work. Thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil; and thou becamest exceedingly beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.{/i}
14{i}And thy fame went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my magnificence, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.{/i} (Ezek. 16:6‑14)
