Psalms 106:7

Nos pères en Egypte ne furent pas attentifs à tes miracles, Ils ne se rappelèrent pas la multitude de tes grâces, Ils furent rebelles près de la mer, près de la mer Rouge.

Expliqué aux enfants

Imagine if you had a really nice friend who always helped you, but one day you forgot all the nice things they did and got mad at them. That's kind of what happened with God and the Israelites. They forgot all the good things God did for them in Egypt and got mad at Him at the Red Sea.

Contexte historique
