Exodus 15

¹Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and they said, saying: I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

²The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God and I will praise him, my father's God and I will exalt him.

³YHWH is a man of war; YHWH is his name.

⁴Pharaoh's chariots and his force he cast into the sea; his choice officers were sunk in the Sea of Reeds.

⁵The deeps covered them; they went down into the depths like a stone.

⁶Your right hand, O LORD, is glorious in power; your right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy.

⁷And in the greatness of your majesty you overthrow those who rise against you; you send out your burning anger, it consumes them like stubble.

⁸And by the blast of your nostrils the waters were piled up; the floods stood upright like a heap; the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.

⁹The enemy said: I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be filled with them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall dispossess them.

¹⁰You blew with your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

¹¹Who is like you among the gods, O LORD? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders?

¹²You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them.

¹³You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed; you have guided them in your strength to your holy pasture.

¹⁴The peoples have heard; they tremble. Anguish has seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

¹⁵Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed; the leaders of Moab — trembling seized them; all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.

¹⁶Terror and dread fall upon them; by the greatness of your arm they are still as a stone, until your people pass over, O LORD, until the people pass over whom you have acquired.

¹⁷You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance, the place you have made for your dwelling, O LORD, the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established.

¹⁸The LORD will reign forever and ever.

¹⁹For the horse of Pharaoh went with his chariot and with his horsemen into the sea, and YHWH brought back over them the waters of the sea; but the sons of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

²⁰And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dancing.

²¹And Miriam sang to them: 'Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.'

²²And Moses led Israel out from the Sea of Reeds, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they walked three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

²³And they came to Marah, and they could not drink the water of Marah, for it was bitter; therefore its name was called Marah.

²⁴And the people murmured against Moses, saying: What shall we drink?

²⁵And he cried to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There he set for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he tested them.

²⁶And he said: If you will diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, none of the diseases that I put upon Egypt will I put upon you, for I am the LORD who heals you.

²⁷And they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there by the water.
