John Gill, on Neh 9:9

“And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt: and thou didst hear their cry by the Red Sea.”

“And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,.... The hard bondage in which their lives were made bitter; and was not a mere spectator of it, but looked upon them in it with pity and compassion, and sent them a deliverer, Exo 2:23 and heardest their cry by the Red sea; which was before them, and the rocks on both sides of them, and the host of Pharaoh behind, pressing upon them, when he heard them, and wrought salvation for them, Exo 14:10.”
