Exodus
Exod.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.
[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.
[3] The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
[4] Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the
sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
[5] The depths have covered them: they sank into the
bottom as a stone.
[6] Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power:
thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[10] Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them:
they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
[11] Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is
like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing
wonders?
[12] Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth
swallowed them.
[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.
[14] The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall
take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[18] The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
[19] For 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.
[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 ye to the LORD, for he
hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown
into the sea.
[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.
[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] 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,
[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.
[27] And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of
water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there
by the waters.
