Summary: than Israel, who received the exodus, the pillar of light, the manna, and the sweetened water,

Greek text · Archambault 2:268

ὑμῶν τῶν ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ καὶ ἐπισκοπῇ μεγάλης δόξης λυτρωθέντων ἀπὸ τῆς Αἰγύπτου, θαλάσσης ὑμῖν τμηθείσης καὶ γενομένης ὁδοῦ ξηρᾶς, ἐν ᾗ τοὺς διώκοντας ὑμᾶς μετὰ δυνάμεως πολλῆς πάνυ καὶ ἐνδόξων ἀρμάτων, ἐπικλύσας αὐτοῖς τὴν διʼ ὑμᾶς ὁδοποιηθεῖσαν θάλασσαν, ἀπέκτεινεν· οἷς καὶ στύλος φωτὸς ἔλαμπεν, ἵνα καὶ παρὰ τὸν πάντα ἄλλον λαὸν τὸν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἰδίῳ καὶ ἀνελλιπεῖ καὶ μὴ δύνοντι φωτὶ χρῆσθαι ἔχητε· οἷς ἄρτον εἰς τροφὴν διʼ ἀγγέλων οὐρανίων, τὸ μάννα, ἔβρεξεν, ἵνα μηδὲ σιτοποιίας δεόμενοι ζητήσητε· καὶ τὸ ἐν Μερρᾷ ὕδωρ ἐγλυκάνθη·

English · Claude translation

“than you, who were redeemed from Egypt with a high arm and a visitation of great glory, when the sea was divided for you and became a dry road, in which he killed those who pursued you with a very great force and glorious chariots, bringing back upon them the sea that had been made a road for your sake; for whom also a pillar of light shone, so that you might have a light of your own, unfailing and never setting, beyond every other people in the world; on whom he rained bread for food from the angels of heaven, the manna, so that you might not even need to prepare grain; and the water at Marah was made sweet;
