{Because...: or, Because the hand of Amalek is against the throne of the LORD, therefore, etc} {the LORD hath...: Heb. the hand upon the throne of the LORD}

Nehemiah 9:12-23

9:12

Moreover thou leddest
<05148> (8689)

them in the day
<03119>

by a cloudy
<06051>

pillar
<05982>_;

and in the night
<03915>

by a pillar
<05982>

of fire
<0784>_,

to give them light
<0215> (8687)

in the way
<01870>

wherein they should go
<03212> (8799)_.

9:13

Thou camest down
<03381> (8804)

also upon mount
<02022>

Sinai
<05514>_,

and spakest
<01696> (8763)

with them from heaven
<08064>_,

and gavest
<05414> (8799)

them right
<03477>

judgments
<04941>_,

and true
<0571>

laws
<08451>_,

good
<02896>

statutes
<02706>

and commandments
<04687>_:

{true...: Heb. laws of truth}

9:14

And madest known
<03045> (8689)

unto them thy holy
<06944>

sabbath
<07676>_,

and commandedst
<06680> (8765)

them precepts
<04687>_,

statutes
<02706>_,

and laws
<08451>_,

by the hand
<03027>

of Moses
<04872>

thy servant
<05650>_:

9:15

And gavest
<05414> (8804)

them bread
<03899>

from heaven
<08064>

for their hunger
<07458>_,

and broughtest forth
<03318> (8689)

water
<04325>

for them out of the rock
<05553>

for their thirst
<06772>_,

and promisedst
<0559> (8799)

them that they should go in
<0935> (8800)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

the land
<0776>

which thou hadst sworn
<03027> <05375> (8804)

to give
<05414> (8800)

them. {which...: Heb. which thou hadst lift up thine hand to give them}

9:16

But they and our fathers
<01>

dealt proudly
<02102> (8689)_,

and hardened
<07185> (8686)

their necks
<06203>_,

and hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not to thy commandments
<04687>_,

9:17

And refused
<03985> (8762)

to obey
<08085> (8800)_,

neither were mindful
<02142> (8804)

of thy wonders
<06381> (8737)

that thou didst
<06213> (8804)

among them; but hardened
<07185> (8686)

their necks
<06203>_,

and in their rebellion
<04805>

appointed
<05414> (8799)

a captain
<07218>

to return
<07725> (8800)

to their bondage
<05659>_:

but thou [art] a God
<0433>

ready to pardon
<05547>_,

gracious
<02587>

and merciful
<07349>_,

slow
<0750>

to anger
<0639>_,

and of great
<07227>

kindness
<02617>_,

and forsookest
<05800> (8804)

them not. {a God...: Heb. a God of pardons}

9:18

Yea, when they had made
<06213> (8804)

them a molten
<04541>

calf
<05695>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] thy God
<0430>

that brought thee up
<05927> (8689)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

and had wrought
<06213> (8799)

great
<01419>

provocations
<05007>_;

9:19

Yet thou in thy manifold
<07227>

mercies
<07356>

forsookest
<05800> (8804)

them not in the wilderness
<04057>_:

the pillar
<05982>

of the cloud
<06051>

departed
<05493> (8804)

not from them by day
<03119>_,

to lead
<05148> (8687)

them in the way
<01870>_;

neither the pillar
<05982>

of fire
<0784>

by night
<03915>_,

to shew them light
<0215> (8687)_,

and the way
<01870>

wherein they should go
<03212> (8799)_.

9:20

Thou gavest
<05414> (8804)

also thy good
<02896>

spirit
<07307>

to instruct
<07919> (8687)

them, and withheldest
<04513> (8804)

not thy manna
<04478>

from their mouth
<06310>_,

and gavest
<05414> (8804)

them water
<04325>

for their thirst
<06772>_.

9:21

Yea, forty
<0705>

years
<08141>

didst thou sustain
<03557> (8773)

them in the wilderness
<04057>_,

[so that] they lacked
<02637> (8804)

nothing; their clothes
<08008>

waxed not old
<01086> (8804)_,

and their feet
<07272>

swelled
<01216> (8804)

not.

9:22

Moreover thou gavest
<05414> (8799)

them kingdoms
<04467>

and nations
<05971>_,

and didst divide
<02505> (8799)

them into corners
<06285>_:

so they possessed
<03423> (8799)

the land
<0776>

of Sihon
<05511>_,

and the land
<0776>

of the king
<04428>

of Heshbon
<02809>_,

and the land
<0776>

of Og
<05747>

king
<04428>

of Bashan
<01316>_.

9:23

Their children
<01121>

also multipliedst
<07235> (8689)

thou as the stars
<03556>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and broughtest
<0935> (8686)

them into the land
<0776>_,

concerning which thou hadst promised
<0559> (8804)

to their fathers
<01>_,

that they should go in
<0935> (8800)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

[it].

Psalms 78:14-28

78:14

In the daytime
<03119>

also he led
<05148> (8686)

them with a cloud
<06051>_,

and all the night
<03915>

with a light
<0216>

of fire
<0784>_.

78:15

He clave
<01234> (8762)

the rocks
<06697>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and gave [them] drink
<08248> (8686)

as [out of] the great
<07227>

depths
<08415>_.

78:16

He brought
<03318> (8686)

streams
<05140> (8802)

also out of the rock
<05553>_,

and caused waters
<04325>

to run down
<03381> (8686)

like rivers
<05104>_.

78:17

And they sinned
<02398> (8800)

yet more
<03254> (8686)

against him by provoking
<04784> (8687)

the most High
<05945>

in the wilderness
<06723>_.

78:18

And they tempted
<05254> (8762)

God
<0410>

in their heart
<03824>

by asking
<07592> (8800)

meat
<0400>

for their lust
<05315>_.

78:19

Yea, they spake
<01696> (8762)

against God
<0430>_;

they said
<0559> (8804)_,

Can
<03201> (8799)

God
<0410>

furnish
<06186> (8800)

a table
<07979>

in the wilderness
<04057>_?

{furnish: Heb. order}

78:20

Behold, he smote
<05221> (8689)

the rock
<06697>_,

that the waters
<04325>

gushed out
<02100> (8799)_,

and the streams
<05158>

overflowed
<07857> (8799)_;

can
<03201> (8799)

he give
<05414> (8800)

bread
<03899>

also? can
<03201> (8799)

he provide
<03559> (8686)

flesh
<07607>

for his people
<05971>_?

78:21

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

heard
<08085> (8804)

[this], and was wroth
<05674> (8691)_:

so a fire
<0784>

was kindled
<05400> (8738)

against Jacob
<03290>_,

and anger
<0639>

also came up
<05927> (8804)

against Israel
<03478>_;

78:22

Because they believed
<0539> (8689)

not in God
<0430>_,

and trusted
<0982> (8804)

not in his salvation
<03444>_:

78:23

Though he had commanded
<06680> (8762)

the clouds
<07834>

from above
<04605>_,

and opened
<06605> (8804)

the doors
<01817>

of heaven
<08064>_,

78:24

And had rained down
<04305> (8686)

manna
<04478>

upon them to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

and had given
<05414> (8804)

them of the corn
<01715>

of heaven
<08064>_.

78:25

Man
<0376>

did eat
<0398> (8804)

angels
<047>_'

food
<03899>_:

he sent
<07971> (8804)

them meat
<06720>

to the full
<07648>_.

{Man...: or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty}

78:26

He caused an east wind
<06921>

to blow
<05265> (8686)

in the heaven
<08064>_:

and by his power
<05797>

he brought in
<05090> (8762)

the south wind
<08486>_.

{to blow: Heb. to go}

78:27

He rained
<04305> (8686)

flesh
<07607>

also upon them as dust
<06083>_,

and feathered
<03671>

fowls
<05775>

like as the sand
<02344>

of the sea
<03220>_:

{feathered...: Heb. fowl of wing}

78:28

And he let [it] fall
<05307> (8686)

in the midst
<07130>

of their camp
<04264>_,

round about
<05439>

their habitations
<04908>_.

Psalms 105:39-41

105:39

He spread
<06566> (8804)

a cloud
<06051>

for a covering
<04539>_;

and fire
<0784>

to give light
<0215> (8687)

in the night
<03915>_.

105:40

[The people] asked
<07592> (8804)_,

and he brought
<0935> (8686)

quails
<07958>_,

and satisfied
<07646> (8686)

them with the bread
<03899>

of heaven
<08064>_.

105:41

He opened
<06605> (8804)

the rock
<06697>_,

and the waters
<04325>

gushed out
<02100> (8799)_;

they ran
<01980> (8804)

in the dry places
<06723>

[like] a river
<05104>_.
