7that they might set their hope in God, and not forget God’s deeds, but keep his commandments,
8and might not be as their fathers— a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

12He did marvellous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
