- The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows, turned back on the day of battle;
- they did not keep God's covenant and refused to live by his law.
- They forgot what he had done, the wonders he had shown them.
- He did miracles in the sight of their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
- He divided the sea and led them through; he made the water stand firm like a wall.
|
- He guided them with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night.
- He split the rocks in the desert and gave them water as abundant as the seas;
- he brought streams out of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers.
- But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.
- They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved.
|
- They spoke against God, saying, "Can God spread a table in the desert?
- When he struck the rock, water gushed out, and streams flowed abundantly. But can he also give us food? Can he supply meat for his people?"
- When the LORD heard them, he was very angry; his fire broke out against Jacob, and his wrath rose against Israel,
- for they did not believe in God or trust in his deliverance.
