16:009:008 And foundest his heart faithful before
thee, and madest a
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, I say, to his seed, and
hast
performed
thy words; for thou art righteous:
16:009:009 And didst see the affliction of our fathers
in Egypt, and
heardest
their cry by the Red sea;
16:009:010 And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh,
and on all his
servants,
and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest
that
they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou
get thee a
name,
as it is this day.
16:009:011 And thou didst divide the sea before them,
so that they went
through
the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their
persecutors
thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the
mighty
waters.
16:009:012 Moreover thou leddest them in the day by
a cloudy pillar; and
in
the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in
the
way
wherein they should go.
16:009:013 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai,
and spakest with them
from
heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws,
good
statutes and commandments:
16:009:014 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath,
and commandedst
them
precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses
thy
servant:
16:009:015 And gavest them bread from heaven for their
hunger, and
broughtest
forth water for them out of the rock for their
thirst,
and promisedst them that they should go in to possess
the
land which thou hadst sworn to give them.
16:009:016 But they and our fathers dealt proudly,
and hardened their
necks,
and hearkened not to thy commandments,
16:009:017 And refused to obey, neither were mindful
of thy wonders that
thou
didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in
their
rebellion
appointed a captain to return to their bondage:
but
thou
art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow
to
anger,
and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.
16:009:018 Yea, when they had made them a molten calf,
and said, This is
thy
God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought
great
provocations;
16:009:019 Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest
them not in the
wilderness:
the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by
day,
to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire
by
night,
to shew them light, and the way wherein they should
go.
16:009:020 Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct
them, and
withheldest
not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them
water
for their thirst.
