3 우리가 앗수르의 구원을 의지하지 아니하며 말을 타지 아니하며 다시는 우리의 손으로 지은 것을 향하여 너희는 우리 신이라 하지 아니하오리니 이는 고아가 주께로 말미암아 긍휼을 얻음이니이다 할지니라

8340. 'And Miriam responded to them' means a reciprocation. This is clear from the meaning of 'responding', when the subject is the ascription of glory to the Lord by means of a song, as a reciprocation. Among the ancients it was also customary in sacred worship to sing in choirs, in order - that is to say - that there would be one or any number of persons who could respond to the others, which represented a reciprocation and response, like that of the Church from heaven, and of heaven from the Lord. Such is the meaning in Hosea,

I will respond and sing to Him. Hosea 14:8.

And in Moses,

Then Israel sang this song, Rise up, O spring! Respond over it. Numbers 21:17.
