Psalms 78:12-16

78:12 He did amazing things in the sight of their ancestors,

in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan. ¹ 

78:13 He divided the sea and led them across it;

he made the water stand in a heap.

78:14 He led them with a cloud by day,

and with the light of a fire all night long.

78:15 He broke open rocks in the wilderness,

and gave them enough water to fill the depths of the sea. ² 

78:16 He caused streams to flow from the rock,

and made the water flow like rivers.

[78:12]  ¹ sn The region of Zoan was located in the Egyptian delta, where the enslaved Israelites lived (see Num 13:22; Isa 19:11, 13; 30:4; Ezek 30:14).

[78:15]  ² tn Heb “and caused them to drink, like the depths, abundantly.”
