The recitation of God's mighty works begins: "In the sight of their ancestors he worked marvels in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan." The reference to Zoan (a city in the Egyptian Delta where the plagues occurred) grounds the miraculous works in specific historical geography. The phrase "in the sight of their ancestors" emphasizes that these wonders were not hidden reports but witnessed events, making the subsequent forgetting all the more culpable.
