1 Maccabees 4:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ Remember how our ancestors were saved at the Red Sea when the king of Egypt was pursuing them with his army! ¹⁰ Now let us ask the Lord to have mercy on us. Let us pray that he will honor his covenant with our ancestors and crush this army when we attack today. ¹¹ Then all the Gentiles will know that Israel has a God who rescues and saves them.
