The land of Ham (Egypt) witnessed God's wonders—the plagues that demonstrated His power over nature and human will. These were not mere coincidences but deliberate displays of divine authority.
The Red Sea represented 'terrible things'—both the parting (terrible in majesty) and the destruction of Pharaoh's army (terrible in judgment). These acts inspired both awe and fear appropriate to God's power.
