Psalms 78:12 - Exposition

Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. The miracles of Egypt are, perhaps, the most striking series in Jewish history. A more particular account of them is given below ( Psalms 78:44-53 ). They were wrought "in the field of Zoan," i.e. in the rich flat tract east and south of the city of Zoan, the Greek Tanis, now San . This fact could not have been gathered from Exodus, but must have come to the writer from the tradition of which he speaks in verse 3.
