Nehemiah 9:7-9

Complete Jewish Bible

⁷ “‘You are Adonai, the God who chose Avram,
brought him out of Ur-Kasdim
and gave him the name of Avraham.
⁸ Finding that he was faithful to you,
you made a covenant with him
to give the land of the Kena‘ani,
the Hitti, Emori and P’rizi,
the Y’vusi and the Girgashi,
to give it to his descendants;
and you have done what you promised,
because you are just.

⁹ “‘You saw the distress of our ancestors in Egypt
and heard their cry by the Sea of Suf.
