Exodus 15
15:1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and said,
"I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously: The horse and his rider
he has thrown into the sea.
15:2 Yah is my strength and song, He has become my salvation: This is my God,
and I will praise him; My father's God, and I will exalt him.
15:3 Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name.
15:4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host has he cast into the sea; His chosen
captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
15:5 The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone.
15:6 Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power, Your right hand, Yahweh,
dashes the enemy in pieces.
15:7 In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up
against you: You send forth your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.
15:8 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.
15:9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil.
My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall
destroy them.'
15:10 You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the
mighty waters.
15:11 Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in
holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?
15:12 You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.
15:13 "You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed.
You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.
15:14 The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the
inhabitants of Philistia.
15:15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty
men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.
15:16 Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as
still as a stone; Until your people pass over, Yahweh, Until the people pass
over who you have purchased.
15:17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your
inheritance, The place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in;
The sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.
15:18 Yahweh shall reign forever and ever."
15:19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen
into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the
children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.
15:20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand;
and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.
15:21 Miriam answered them, "Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously:
The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."
15:22 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.
15:23 When they came to Marah, they couldn't drink from the waters of Marah, for
they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah.{Marah means
bitter.}
15:24 The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"
15:25 Then he cried to Yahweh. Yahweh shown him a tree, and he threw it into the
waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance
for them, and there he tested them;
15:26 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your
God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his
commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you,
which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you."
15:27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy
palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
