Nehemiah 9:19-21 yet, thou, in thine abounding compassions, didst not forsake them in the desert,––the pillar of cloud, departed not from over them by day, to lead them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to light up for them the way wherein they should go.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ yet, thou, in thine abounding compassions, didst not forsake them in the desert,––the pillar of cloud, departed not from over them by day, to lead them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to light up for them the way wherein they should go. ²⁰ And, thy Good Spirit, thou gavest, to instruct them,––and, thy manna, thou withheldest not from their mouth, and, water, thou gavest them, for their thirst. ²¹ Yea, forty years, didst thou sustain them in the desert, they lacked nothing,––their mantles, waxed not old and, their feet, swelled not.
