3Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers.
4We will not keep them secret from our children; we will make clear to the coming generation the praises of the Lord and his strength, and the great works of wonder which he has done.
5He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children;
6So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their children;
7So that they might put their hope in God, and not let God's works go out of their minds, but keep his laws;
8And not be like their fathers, a stiff-necked and uncontrolled generation; a generation whose heart was hard, whose spirit was not true to God.
9The children of Ephraim, armed with bows, were turned back on the day of the fight.
10They were not ruled by God's word, and they would not go in the way of his law;
11They let his works go out of their memory, and the wonders which he had made them see.
12He did great works before the eyes of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.
13The sea was cut in two so that they might go through; the waters were massed together on this side and on that.
14In the daytime he was guiding them in the cloud, and all through the night with a light of fire.
15The rocks of the waste land were broken by his power, and he gave them drink as out of the deep waters.
16He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing down like rivers.
17And they went on sinning against him even more, turning away from the Most High in the waste land;
18Testing God in their hearts, requesting meat for their desire.
19They said bitter words against God, saying, Is God able to make ready a table in the waste land?
20See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?
21So these things came to the Lord's ears, and he was angry; and a fire was lighted against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel;
22Because they had no faith in God, and no hope in his salvation.
23And he gave orders to the clouds on high, and the doors of heaven were open;
24And he sent down manna like rain for their food, and gave them the grain of heaven.
25Man took part in the food of strong ones; he sent them meat in full measure.
26He sent an east wind from heaven, driving on the south wind by his power.
