Read in context

Nehemiah 9:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 You led them with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they should travel.

13 You came down on Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven. You gave them just ordinances, true laws, and good statutes and commandments.

14 You revealed to them Your holy Sabbath and gave them commandments and statutes and laws through Your servant Moses.

15 In their hunger You gave them bread from heaven; in their thirst You brought them water from the rock. You told them to go in and possess the land which You had sworn to give them.

16 But they and our fathers became arrogant and stiff-necked and did not obey Your commandments.
