15:1
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and
spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously:
the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
(15:1, 4, 19) God drowns horses and riders in the sea.
15:2
The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my
God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt
him.
15:3The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
15:4Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen
captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
15:5

15:6
Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath
dashed in pieces the enemy.
He smashes people with his right hand.
15:7
And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that
rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as
stubble.
15:8
And with the blast of
thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright
as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
He divides the waters with his nostrils.
15:9
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;
my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall
destroy them.
He satisfies his lust by killing people with his sword.
15:10Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in
the mighty waters.
He blows and makes people drown.
15:11Who is like unto thee,
O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness,
fearful in praises, doing wonders?
15:12Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed
them.
With his right hand, he makes the earth swallow people.
15:13
Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou
hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
15:14
The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the
inhabitants of Palestina.
15:15
Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling
shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
15:16
Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they
shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the
people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
15:17
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine
inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell
in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which thy hands have established.
15:19For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen
into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them;
but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
15:20And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her
hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with
dances.
15:21
And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed
gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
15:22
So 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.
15:23
And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah,
for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
15:24
And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
15:25
And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he
had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them
a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
God has Moses throw a tree in water to make the water taste sweet.
15:26
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy
God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his
commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases
upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that
healeth thee.
