7Our forefathers in Egypt did not perceive Your wonders; they did not remember Your abundant love, but rebelled at the sea, at the Sea of Reeds.

8Yet He saved them, as befits His name, to make known His might.

9He sent His blast against the Sea of Reeds; it became dry; He led them through the deep as through a wilderness.

14They were seized with craving in the wilderness, and put Hashem to the test in the wasteland.

16There was envy of Moshe in the camp, and of Aharon, the holy one of Hashem.

38They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; so the land was polluted with bloodguilt.
