1 Τοτε εψαλεν ο Μωυσης και οι υιοι Ισραηλ την ωδην ταυτην προς τον Κυριον, και ειπον λεγοντες, Ας ψαλλω προς τον Κυριον· διοτι εδοξασθη ενδοξως· τον ιππον και τον αναβατην αυτου ερριψεν εις την θαλασσαν.

2 Ο Κυριος ειναι η δυναμις μου και το ασμα μου, και εσταθη η σωτηρια μου· αυτος ειναι Θεος μου και θελω δοξασει αυτον· Θεος του πατρος μου, και θελω υψωσει αυτον.

3 Ο Κυριος ειναι δυνατος πολεμιστης· Κυριος το ονομα αυτου.

4 Του Φαραω τας αμαξας και το στρατευμα αυτου ερριψεν εις την θαλασσαν· και εκλεκτοι πολεμαρχοι αυτου κατεποντισθησαν εν τη Ερυθρα θαλασση.

5 Αι αβυσσοι εσκεπασαν αυτους· ως πετρα κατεβυθισθησαν εις τα βαθη.

6 Η δεξια σου, Κυριε, εδοξασθη εις δυναμιν· η δεξια σου, Κυριε, συνετριψε τον εχθρον.

7 Και με το μεγεθος της υπεροχης σου εξωλοθρευσας τους υπεναντιους σου· εξαπεστειλας την οργην σου και κατεφαγεν αυτους ως καλαμην.

8 Και με την πνοην του θυμου σου τα υδατα επεσωρευθησαν ομου· τα κυματα εσταθησαν ως σωρος, αι αβυσσοι επηξαν εν τω μεσω της θαλασσης.

9 Ο εχθρος ειπε, Θελω καταδιωξει, θελω καταφθασει, θελω διαμοιρασθη τα λαφυρα· η ψυχη μου θελει χορτασθη επ' αυτους· θελω συρει την μαχαιραν μου, η χειρ μου θελει αφανισει αυτους.

10 Εφυσησας με τον ανεμον σου και η θαλασσα εσκεπασεν αυτους· κατεβυθισθησαν ως μολυβδος εις τα φοβερα υδατα.

11 Τις ομοιος σου Κυριε, μεταξυ των θεων; Τις ομοιος σου, ενδοξος εις αγιοτητα, θαυμαστος εις υμνους, ενεργων τεραστια;

12 Εξετεινας την δεξιαν σου, και η γη κατεπιεν αυτους.

13 Με το ελεος σου ωδηγησας τον λαον τουτον, τον οποιον ελυτρωσας· ωδηγησας αυτον με την δυναμιν σου προς την κατοικιαν της αγιοτητος σου.

14 Οι λαοι θελουσιν ακουσει και φριξει· πονοι θελουσι κατακυριευσει τους κατοικους της Παλαιστινης.

15 Τοτε θελουσιν εκπλαγη οι ηγεμονες Εδωμ· τρομος θελει καταλαβει τους αρχοντας του Μωαβ· παντες οι κατοικοι της Χανααν θελουσιν αναλυθη.

16 Φοβος και τρομος θελει επιπεσει επ' αυτους· απο του μεγεθους του βραχιονος σου θελουσιν απολιθωθη, εωσου περαση ο λαος σου, Κυριε, εωσου περαση ο λαος ουτος, τον οποιον απεκτησας.

17 Θελεις εισαγαγει αυτους και φυτευσει αυτους εις το ορος της κληρονομιας σου, τον τοπον, Κυριε, τον οποιον ητοιμασας δια κατοικιαν σου, το αγιαστηριον, Κυριε, το οποιον αι χειρες σου εστησαν.

18 Ο Κυριος θελει βασιλευει εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων.

19 Διοτι εισηλθον οι ιπποι του Φαραω εις την θαλασσαν μετα των αμαξων αυτου και μετα των ιππεων αυτου, και ο Κυριος εστρεψεν επ' αυτους τα υδατα της θαλασσης· οι δε υιοι Ισραηλ επερασαν δια ξηρας εν τω μεσω της θαλασσης.

20 Μαριαμ δε η προφητις, η αδελφη του Ααρων ελαβε το τυμπανον εν τη χειρι αυτης και πασαι αι γυναικες εξηλθον κατοπιν αυτης μετα τυμπανων και χορων.

21 Και η Μαριαμ ανταπεκρινετο προς αυτους, λεγουσα, Ψαλλετε εις τον Κυριον· διοτι εδοξασθη ενδοξως· τον ιππον και τον αναβατην αυτου ερριψεν εις θαλασσαν.

22 Τοτε εσηκωσεν ο Μωυσης τους Ισραηλιτας απο της Ερυθρας θαλασσης, και εξηλθον εις την ερημον Σουρ· και περιεπατουν τρεις ημερας εν τη ερημω και δεν ευρισκον υδωρ.

23 Και εκειθεν ηλθον εις Μερραν· δεν ηδυναντο ομως να πιωσιν εκ των υδατων της Μερρας, διοτι ησαν πικρα· δια τουτο και επωνομασθη Μερρα.

24 Και εγογγυζεν ο λαος κατα του Μωυσεως, λεγων, Τι θελομεν πιει;

25 Ο δε Μωυσης εβοησε προς τον Κυριον· και εδειξεν εις αυτον ο Κυριος ξυλον, το οποιον οτε ερριψεν εις τα υδατα, τα υδατα εγλυκανθησαν. Εκει εδωκεν εις αυτους παραγγελιαν και διαταγμα, και εκει εδοκιμασεν αυτους·

26 και ειπεν, Εαν ακουσης επιμελως την φωνην Κυριου του Θεου σου και πραττης το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου και δωσης ακροασιν εις τας εντολας αυτου και φυλαξης παντα τα προσταγματα αυτου, δεν θελω φερει επι σε ουδεμιαν εκ των νοσων, τας οποιας εφερα κατα των Αιγυπτιων· διοτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος ο θεραπευων σε.

27 Επειτα ηλθον εις Αιλειμ, οπου ησαν δωδεκα πηγαι υδατων και εβδομηκοντα δενδρα φοινικων· και εκει εστρατοπεδευσαν πλησιον των υδατων.

8281. Thy right hand, O Jehovah, is magnified in strength. That this signifies that the Lord’s omnipotence has been shown, is evident from the signification of the “right hand of Jehovah,” as being omnipotence, of which below; and from the signification of “is magnified in strength,” as being shown, for Divine power is shown by the strength by which it is magnified. That the “right hand of Jehovah” denotes omnipotence, is because by “hand” in the Word is signified power, and thus by “right hand” eminent power; consequently when the “hand” or “right hand” is said of Jehovah, it denotes Divine power, or omnipotence. (That “hand” and “right hand” denote power, see n. 878, 4931-4937, 6292, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7518; and when predicated of Jehovah, omnipotence, n. 3387, 7518, 7673, 8050, 8069, 8153)

[2] That the “right hand of Jehovah” denotes Divine power, or omnipotence, is also evident from the following passages in the Word, in Matthew:

Jesus said, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven (Matthew 26:64; Mark 14:62).

From henceforth shall the Son of man be sitting at the right hand of the power of God (Luke 22:69).

The saying of Jehovah unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I make thine enemies a footstool for thy feet; thou art a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek, the Lord at thy right hand hath smitten kings in the day of anger (Psalms 110:1, 4-5; Matthew 22:44).

He who does not know that the “right hand,” when said of Jehovah, signifies omnipotence, cannot receive any other idea from these words of the Lord, than that the Lord will sit at the right hand of His Father, and have dominion like one who sits at the right hand of a king on earth. But the internal sense teaches what is meant in these passages by “sitting at the right hand,” namely, the Divine omnipotence; consequently it is also said, “to sit at the right hand of power,” and “at the right hand of the power of God.”

[3] That it is the Lord who has omnipotence, is manifest; for this is said of the Lord, and by “the Lord” in David is meant the Lord in respect to Divine truth, and also by the “Son of man” in the Evangelists; for Divine truth is that which has omnipotence from Divine good. (That Divine truth has omnipotence, see n. 6948, 8200; in general that power belongs to truth from good, n. 3091, 3563, 4231, 6344, 6493; and that consequently “hand” is predicated of truth, n. 3091, 4931; and that the “Son of man” denotes the Divine truth proceeding from the Lord, n. 2159, 2803, 2813, 3704)

[4] Divine power or omnipotence is also signified by the “right hand” in the following passages in David:

Now know I that Jehovah saveth His anointed; they will answer Him in heaven through the powers of the salvation of His right hand (Psalms 20:6).

O Jehovah, look from the heavens, and see, and visit this vine; and the shoot which Thy right hand hath planted, upon the son Thou hadst made strong for Thyself (Psalms 80:14-15, 80:17).

Thou hast an arm with might; strong is Thy hand, exalted shall be Thy right hand (Psalms 89:13).

My strength and song is Jah, He is become my salvation; the voice of shouting and of salvation is in the tents of the righteous, the right hand of Jehovah hath done valiantly, the right hand of Jehovah is exalted, the right hand of Jehovah hath done valiantly (Psalms 118:14-16).

[5] In these passages the “right hand of Jehovah” denotes omnipotence; and in the supreme sense the Lord as to Divine truth. This is more evident elsewhere in David:

Let Thy hand, O Jehovah, be for the man of Thy right hand, for the son of man Thou hast made strong for Thyself (Psalms 80:17); where “the man of the right hand of Jehovah,” and “the son of man,” denote the Lord as to Divine truth. In the same:

Thou hast driven out the nations with Thy hand, not by their sword have they possessed the land, and their arm hath not saved them, but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy faces (Psalms 44:2-3); where “the light of the faces of Jehovah” denotes Divine truth from Divine good; so also “the right hand,” and “the arm.” And in Isaiah:

God hath sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength (62:8);

here also the “right hand of God,” and the “arm of His strength” denote the Lord as to Divine truth; for Jehovah or the Lord does not swear by any other than Himself (n. 2842), thus by the Divine truth, for this is Himself, because from Himself.

[6] Hence it is that in the Word throughout the Lord is called not only the “right hand” and “arm” of Jehovah, but also “the strength by which He breaks in pieces enemies,” and likewise “the hammer,” as in Jeremiah 51:20-21, seq . Moreover the Lord came into the world, and there became Divine truth, and afterward Divine good from which is Divine truth, in order that He might shut up all evils and falsities in the hells, and gather together goods and truths into the heavens, and there dispose them into Divine order. From all this it is now evident that by “the right hand of Jehovah” in the Word is signified the omnipotence which the Divine has by means of Divine truth. That “the right hand” denotes eminent power, derives its origin from the fact that they who in the Grand Man or heaven have relation to the shoulders, the arms, and the hands, are they who are powerful from the truth which is from good; that is, from the faith which is from love (n. 4931-4937, 7518).
