Scripture Narration

The Song Of Mosheh (Moses) Exodus Chapter 15.

Exodus 15

1 Then Mosheh and the children of Yisra’ĕl sang this song to יהוה, and spoke, saying, “I sing to יהוה, for He is highly exalted! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!

2 Yah is my strength and song, and He has become my deliverance. He is my Ěl, and I praise Him – Elohim of my father, and I exalt Him.

3 יהוה is a man of battle, יהוה is His Name.

4 He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea, and his chosen officers are drowned in the Sea of Reeds.

5 The depths covered them, they went down to the bottom like a stone.

6 Your right hand, O יהוה, has become great in power. Your right hand, O יהוה, has crushed the enemy.

7 And in the greatness of Your excellence You pulled down those who rose up against You. You sent forth Your wrath, it consumed them like stubble.

8 And with the wind of Your nostrils the waters were heaped up, the floods stood like a wall, the depths became stiff in the heart of the sea.

9 The enemy said, ‘I pursue, I overtake, I divide the spoil; my being is satisfied on them. I draw out my sword, my hand destroys them.’

10 You did blow with Your wind, the sea covered them, they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who is like You, O יהוה, among the mighty ones? Who is like You, great in set-apartness, awesome in praises, working wonders?

12 You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.

13 In Your kindness You led the people whom You have redeemed; in Your strength You guided them to Your set-apart dwelling.

14 Peoples heard, they trembled, anguish gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.

15 Then the chiefs of Eḏom were troubled, the mighty men of Mo’aḇ, trembling grips them, all the inhabitants of Kena’an melted.

16 Fear and dread fell on them, by the greatness of Your arm they are as silent as a stone, until Your people pass over, O יהוה, until the people, whom You have bought, pass over.

17 You bring them in and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, in the place, O יהוה, which You have made for Your own dwelling, the set-apart place, O יהוה, which Your hands have prepared.

18 יהוה reigns forever and ever.”

19 For the horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and יהוה brought back the waters of the sea upon them. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went on dry ground in the midst of the sea.

20 And Miryam the prophetess, the sister of Aharon, took the timbrel in her hand. And all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

21 And Miryam answered them, “Sing to יהוה, for He is highly exalted! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”
