1 Maccabees 4:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ Remember how our ancestors were saved at the Red Sea,^[a] when Pharaoh was pursuing them with his forces. ¹⁰ So let’s cry to heaven to see if the heavenly one will favor us and remember his covenant with our ancestors and crush this army in front of us today. ¹¹ Then all the Gentiles will know that there is someone who redeems and saves Israel.”
