Exod 15
1
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to YHWH, and spoke, saying, I
will sing to YHWH, for he has triumphed gloriously: The horse and his rider has he
thrown into the sea.
2
YHWH is my strength and song, And he is become my salvation: This is my God, and I
will praise him; My father`s God, and I will exalt him.
3
YHWH is a man of war: YHWH is his name.
4
Pharaoh`s chariots and his host has he cast into the sea; And his chosen captains
are sunk in the Red Sea.
5
The deeps cover them: They went down into the depths like a stone.
6
Your right hand, O YHWH, is glorious in power, Your right hand, O YHWH, dashes in
pieces the enemy.
7
And in the greatness of your excellency you overthrow them that rise up against
you: You send forth your anger, it consumes them as stubble.
8
And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were piled up, The floods stood
upright as a heap; The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My
desire shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10
You did blow with your wind, the sea covered them: They sank as lead in the mighty
waters.
11
Who is like to you, O YHWH, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness,
Fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12
You stretched out your right hand, The earth swallowed them.
13
You in your lovingkindness have led the people that you have redeemed: You have
guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.
14
The peoples have heard, they tremble: Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of
Philistia.
15
Then were the chiefs of Edom dismayed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling takes hold
upon them: All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.
16
Terror and dread falls upon them; By the greatness of your arm they are as still as
a stone; Till your people pass over, O YHWH, Till the people pass over that you have
purchased.
17
You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance,
The place, O YHWH, which you have made for you to dwell in, The sanctuary, O Lord,
which your hands have established.
18
YHWH shall reign for ever and ever.
19
For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the
sea, and YHWH brought back the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel
walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.
20
And 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.
21
And Miriam answered them, Sing you to YHWH, for he has triumphed gloriously; The horse
and his rider has he thrown into the sea.
22
And Moses led Israel onward 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 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.
24
And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25
An he cried to YHWH; And YHWH showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and
the waters were made sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and
there he proved them;
26
and he said, If you will diligently hearken to the voice of YHWH your God, and will
do that which is right in his eyes, and will give ear to his commandments, and keep
all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon you, which I have put upon
the Egyptians: for I am YHWH that heals you.
27
And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten
palm-trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
