  • Deut 4:32-38 : 32 Ask now about the days that are past, from the day that God created humanity on the earth, and from one end of the heavens to the other: Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it been heard of? 33 Has any people heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you have heard, and lived? 34 Or has any god ever tried to take for himself a nation from within another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35 You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him. 36 From heaven He caused you to hear His voice to teach you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the fire. 37 Because He loved your ancestors, He chose their descendants after them and brought you out of Egypt with His great power and presence. 38 He drove out nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you into their land and to give it to you as an inheritance, as it is today.
  • Josh 3:14-17 : 14 So when the people set out from their tents to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them. 15 Now as the priests who carried the ark came to the Jordan, and their feet touched the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the harvest season), 16 the water flowing down from upstream stood still. It rose up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam near Zarethan. Meanwhile, the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) was completely cut off, and the people crossed opposite Jericho. 17 The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firmly on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel crossed on dry ground until the entire nation had finished crossing the Jordan.

  • Ps 78:12-72 : 12 He did miracles in the sight of their ancestors, in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan. 13 He divided the sea and let them pass through it; He made the waters stand like a wall. 14 By day He led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire. 15 He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them water as abundant as the depths. 16 He brought streams out of the rock and made water flow down like rivers. 17 But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling against the Most High in the dry wasteland. 18 They tested God in their hearts by demanding the food they craved. 19 They spoke against God, saying, 'Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?' 20 True, He struck the rock, and water gushed out, and streams overflowed. But can He also give us bread or provide meat for His people? 21 Therefore, when the Lord heard this, He became furious; a fire was kindled against Jacob, and His anger rose against Israel. 22 For they did not believe in God or trust in His salvation. 23 Yet He commanded the skies above and opened the doors of heaven. 24 He rained down manna for them to eat and gave them the grain of heaven. 25 Man ate the bread of angels; He sent them food to their fill. 26 He made the east wind blow in the heavens and guided the south wind by His power. 27 He rained meat on them like dust, birds like the sand of the sea. 28 He made them fall inside their camp, all around their dwellings. 29 They ate and were filled abundantly, for He gave them what they craved. 30 But while the food was still in their mouths, they were not yet free of their craving. 31 Then the anger of God rose against them, and He killed the strongest among them, striking down the young men of Israel. 32 Despite all this, they kept on sinning and did not believe in His wondrous works. 33 So He ended their days in futility and their years in terror. 34 When He killed them, they sought Him; they repented and earnestly sought God. 35 They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God their Redeemer. 36 But they deceived Him with their mouths and lied to Him with their tongues. 37 Their hearts were not faithful to Him, nor were they loyal to His covenant. 38 Yet He, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. Time and again, He restrained His anger and did not stir up His full wrath. 39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return. 40 How often they provoked Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the wasteland! 41 Again and again they tested God and limited the Holy One of Israel. 42 They did not remember His power—the day He redeemed them from their enemy, 43 when He displayed His signs in Egypt, His wonders in the fields of Zoan. 44 He turned their rivers to blood, and they could not drink from their streams. 45 He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them. 46 He gave their crops to the caterpillar and the fruit of their labor to the locust. 47 He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore trees with frost. 48 He gave over their cattle to the hail and their livestock to lightning. 49 He unleashed His burning anger, fury, rage, and hostility—a band of destroying angels. 50 He prepared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague. 51 He struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham. 52 But He led His people like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness. 53 He led them safely, so they were unafraid, but the sea covered their enemies. 54 He brought them to His holy border, to the mountain His right hand had acquired. 55 He drove out nations before them and apportioned their inheritance with a measuring line; He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents. 56 But they tested and rebelled against God Most High and did not keep His decrees. 57 They turned back and were disloyal like their ancestors; they became twisted like a deceitful bow. 58 They angered Him with their high places and provoked His jealousy with their carved images. 59 When God heard this, He became furious and greatly rejected Israel. 60 He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where He had dwelled among humanity. 61 He gave His strength into captivity and His beauty into the hand of the adversary. 62 He handed His people over to the sword, and His inheritance became the object of His fury. 63 Fire consumed their young men, and their virgins were not given in marriage. 64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows could not weep. 65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a warrior recovering from wine. 66 He struck His enemies backward and covered them with everlasting disgrace. 67 He rejected the tent of Joseph and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim. 68 But He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved. 69 He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that He established forever. 70 He chose David His servant and took him from the sheepfolds. 71 From tending the nursing ewes, He brought him to shepherd Jacob, His people, and Israel, His inheritance. 72 He shepherded them with a heart of integrity and guided them with the skillfulness of his hands.
