15:1Then 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.
15:2Yah
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.
15:3Yahweh
is a man of war.
Yahweh is his name.
15:4Pharaoh's
chariots and his host has he cast into the sea;
His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
15:5The
deeps cover them.
They went down into the depths like a stone.
15:6Your
right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power,
Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in
pieces.
15:7In
the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you:
You send forth your wrath. It consumes them
as stubble.
15:8With
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.
15:9The
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.'
15:10You
blew with your wind.
The sea covered them.
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
15:11Who
is like you, Yahweh, among the gods?
Who is like you, glorious in holiness,
Fearful in praises, doing wonders?
15:12You
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.
15:14The
peoples have heard.
They tremble.
Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of
Philistia.
15:15Then
the chiefs of Edom were dismayed.
Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of
Moab.
All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted
away.
15:16Terror
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.
15:17You
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.
15:18Yahweh shall reign forever and ever."
15:19For 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. 15:20Miriam 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. 15:21Miriam answered them,
"Sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously:
The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."
15:22Moses 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. 15:23When 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. 15:24The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?" 15:25Then 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; 15:26and 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."
15:27They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
