Nehemiah 9:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ You divided the sea in front of our ancestors.
    They walked through it on dry ground.
But you threw the people chasing them into the deep water.
    They were like a stone being thrown into mighty waters.
¹² You led our ancestors with a pillar of cloud in the daytime.
    And you led them with a pillar of fire at night.
It lit the way
    they were supposed to go.
¹³ You came down to Mount Sinai.
    You talked to our ancestors from heaven.
You gave them fair rules and true teachings.
    You gave them good orders and commands.
