“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.” (Ex 15:1-27 AV)
