12 He did miracles right in front of our people who lived long ago. At that time they were living in the land of Egypt, in the area of Zoan.
13 God parted the Red Sea and led them through it. He made the water stand up like a wall.
14 He guided them with the cloud during the day. He led them with the light of a fire all night long.
15 He broke the rocks open in the desert. He gave them as much water as there is in the oceans.
16 He brought streams out of a rocky cliff. He made water flow down like rivers.
17 But they continued to sin against him. In the desert they refused to obey the Most High God.
18 They were stubborn and put God to the test. They ordered him to give them the food they longed for.
