8258. Exodus 15
1. Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Jehovah, and said - they said, I will sing to Jehovah, for He has highly exalted [Himself]; the horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea.
2. My strength and song is Jah, and He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will establish a dwelling-place for Him; my father's God, and I will exalt Him.
3. Jehovah is a man of war; Jehovah is His name.
4. Pharaoh's chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea; and his choice tertiary commanders 1
have been drowned in the Sea Suph.
5. The depths have covered them; they went down into deep places like a stone.
6. Your right hand, O Jehovah, has been magnified in strength; with Your right hand, O Jehovah, You break the enemy in pieces.
7. And in the greatness of Your excellence You destroy those rising up against You; You send out Your wrath, it eats them up like stubble.
8. And with the wind of Your nostrils the waters were heaped up, the floods stood as a heap; the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul will be filled with them. I will unsheathe my sword, my hand will drive them out.
10. You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them over; they sought a deep place like lead in the mighty waters.
11. Who is like You among the gods, O Jehovah? Who is like You, magnificent in holiness, to be venerated with praises, doing wonders?
12. You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13. In Your mercy You have led this people [whom] You have redeemed; in Your strength You have brought them to the dwelling-place of Your holiness.
14. The peoples heard, they trembled; distress took hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
15. Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed; the powerful ones of Moab, terror took hold of them; all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.
16. Alarm and dread fell on them; by the greatness of Your arm they are cut away 2
like a stone, till Your people pass over, O Jehovah, till this people pass over [whom] You have possessed.
17. You will bring them in, You will plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance, the place for You to dwell in [which] You have made, O Jehovah; the sanctuary, O Lord, [which] Your hands have prepared.
18. Jehovah will reign for ever and ever. 3
19. For Pharaoh's horse came with his chariot and his horsemen into the sea, and Jehovah brought the waters of the sea back over them; and the children of Israel went on dry ground through the middle of the sea.
20. And Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21. And Miriam responded to them, Sing to Jehovah, for He has highly exalted [Himself]; the horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea.
22. And Moses caused Israel to travel on from the Sea Suph, and they went out to the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness and did not find water.
23. And they came to Marah, and they could not drink the waters for bitterness; for they were bitter. Therefore he called the name of it Marah.
24. And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25. And he cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah showed him [some] wood, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There He established for him a statute and a judgement, and there He tempted him.
26. And He said, If you obediently hear the voice of Jehovah your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and hearken to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will not put on you any sickness that I put on the Egyptians; for I, Jehovah, am your Healer.
27. And they came to Elim, and here there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there beside the waters.
CONTENTS
In the internal sense this chapter praises the Lord because, having glorified His Human, He cast into hell the evil who were molesting the good in the next life and raised to heaven the good who suffered molestation. These are the things that the internal sense contains in this prophetic song.
