Exodus 15

Studie

   

1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

2 My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation: This is my ùGod, and I will glorify him; My father's God, and I will extol him.

3 Jehovah is a man of war; Jehovah, his name.

4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army hath he cast into the sea; His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.

5 The depths covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone.

6 Thy right hand, Jehovah, is become glorious in power: Thy right hand, Jehovah, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

7 And by the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown thine adversaries: Thou sentest forth thy burning wrath, it consumed them as stubble.

8 And by the breath of thy nostrils the waters were heaped up; The streams stood as a mound; 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 shall be sated upon them; I will unsheath my sword, my hand shall dispossess them.

10 Thou didst blow with thy breath, the sea covered them; They sank as lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who is like unto thee, Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like unto thee, glorifying thyself in holiness, Fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?

12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

13 Thou by thy mercy hast led forth the people that thou hast redeemed; Thou hast guided them by thy strength unto the abode of thy holiness.

14 The peoples heard it, they were afraid: A thrill seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

15 Then the princes of Edom were amazed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling hath seized them; All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.

16 Fear and dread fall upon them; By the greatness of thine arm they are still as a stone; Till thy people pass over, Jehovah, Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased.

17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, The place that thou, Jehovah, hast made thy dwelling, The Sanctuary, Lord, that thy hands have prepared.

18 Jehovah shall reign for ever and ever!

19 For the horse of Pharaoh, with his chariots and with his horsemen, came into the sea, and Jehovah brought again the waters of the sea upon them; and the children of Israel went on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea.

20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the tambour in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambours and with dances.

21 And Miriam answered them, Sing to Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

22 And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

23 And they came to Marah, and could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah.

24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

25 And he cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah shewed him wood, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance; and there he tested them.

26 And he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and do what is right in his eyes, and incline thine ears to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the complaints upon thee that I have put upon the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who healeth thee.

27 And they came to Elim; and twelve springs of water were there, and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there by the waters.

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.
