2 The Egyptians were thankful that the people they had abused were not abusing them in return, and so they begged your chosen people for forgiveness.
3 Then, with a flaming fire at night and with the warmth of the sun during the day, you guided your people through places they had never traveled before.
4 Their enemies deserved to be prisoners of absolute darkness, because they had imprisoned your children, who would bring the light of your Law to the world.
5 The Egyptians wanted to kill the newborn sons of your chosen people, but Moses was rescued and survived. Then you decided to punish the Egyptians by killing their first-born sons and by drowning their army in the sea.
6 However, the night before our ancestors left Egypt, you warned them of what would happen. So they were able to celebrate, knowing that you would keep your promise
7 to rescue your obedient people and to destroy their enemies, just as they knew you would.
8 By these same events you punished your enemies and rewarded us, your chosen people.
