Psalm 106:7
“Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 106Meaning
Miracles did not mechanically produce faithful memory; fear and forgetfulness could coexist with recent experience of deliverance.
Confession and deliverance at the sea
The community confesses ancestral rebellion and remembers God's rescue at the Red Sea.
Read carefully
The verse critiques rebellion and forgetfulness, not the mere presence of human fear.
Reflection
Recall concrete mercies without pretending danger is unreal.
