Exodus 15

American Standard Version

1ThenH227 sangH7891 MosesH4872 and the children of IsraelH3478 this songH7892 unto Jehovah, and spake, sayingH559,

I will singH7891 unto Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously:The horseH5483 and his riderH7392 hath he thrown into the seaH3220.2Jehovah is my strengthH5797 and song,And he is becomeH1961 my salvationH3444:This is my GodH430, and I will praise him;My father’sH1 GodH430, and I will exaltH7311 him.3Jehovah is a manH376 of warH4421:Jehovah is his nameH8034.4Pharaoh’s chariotsH4818 and his host hath he cast into the seaH3220;And his chosen captains are sunkH2883 in the Red SeaH3220.5The deepsH8415 coverH3680 them:They wentH3381 downH3381 into the depthsH4688 like a stoneH68.6Thy rightH3225 handH3225, O Jehovah, is gloriousH142 in powerH3581,Thy rightH3225 handH3225, O Jehovah, dasheth in pieces the enemyH341.7And in the greatnessH7230 of thine excellency thou overthrowest them that riseH6965 up against thee:Thou sendest forthH7971 thy wrath, it consumeth them as stubbleH7179.8And with the blast of thy nostrilsH639 the watersH4325 were piled up,The floods stoodH5324 upright as a heap;The deepsH8415 were congealed in the heartH3820 of the seaH3220.9The enemyH341 saidH559, I will pursueH7291, I will overtakeH5381, I will divideH2505 the spoilH7998;My desireH5315 shall be satisfied upon them;I will draw my swordH2719, my handH3027 shall destroy them.10Thou didst blow with thy windH7307, the seaH3220 coveredH3680 them:They sank as leadH5777 in the mightyH117 watersH4325.11Who is like unto thee, O Jehovah, among the godsH410?Who is like thee, gloriousH142 in holinessH6944,Fearful in praisesH8416, doing wondersH6382?12Thou stretchedst out thy rightH3225 handH3225,The earthH776 swallowedH1104 them.13Thou in thy lovingkindness hast ledH5148 the peopleH5971 that thou hast redeemedH1350:Thou hast guidedH5148 them in thy strengthH5797 to thy holyH6944 habitation.14The peoplesH5971 have heardH8085, they trembleH7264:Pangs have takenH270 holdH270 on the inhabitantsH3427 of PhilistiaH6429.15ThenH227 were the chiefs of EdomH123 dismayedH926;The mighty men of MoabH4124, trembling taketh holdH270 upon them:All the inhabitantsH3427 of CanaanH3667 are meltedH4127 awayH4127.16TerrorH6343 and dreadH6343 falleth upon them;By the greatness of thine armH2220 they are as still as a stoneH68;Till thy peopleH5971 passH5674 over, O Jehovah,Till the peopleH5971 passH5674 over that thou hast purchased.17Thou wilt bringH935 them in, and plantH5193 them in the mountainH2022 of thine inheritanceH5159,The placeH4349, O Jehovah, which thou hast made for thee to dwellH3427 in,The sanctuaryH4720, O Lord, which thy handsH3027 have establishedH3559.18Jehovah shall reignH4427 for everH5703 and everH5703.

19For the horsesH5483 of PharaohH6547 wentH1980 in with his chariotsH7393 and with his horsemenH6571 into the seaH3220, and Jehovah broughtH935 backH7725 the watersH4325 of the seaH3220 upon them; but the children of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 on dryH3004 landH3004 in the midstH8432 of the seaH3220. 20And MiriamH4813 the prophetessH5031, the sisterH269 of AaronH175, tookH3947 a timbrel in her handH3027; and all the womenH802 wentH3318 out after her with timbrels and with dances. 21And MiriamH4813 answeredH6030 them,

SingH7891 ye to Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously;The horseH5483 and his riderH7392 hath he thrown into the seaH3220.

22And MosesH4872 led IsraelH3478 onward from the Red SeaH3220, and they wentH3318 out into the wildernessH4057 of ShurH7793; and they wentH3318 threeH7969 daysH3117 in the wildernessH4057, and foundH4672 no waterH4325. 23And when they cameH935 to MarahH4785, they could not drinkH8354 of the watersH4325 of MarahH4785, for they were bitterH4751: thereforeH3651 the nameH8034 of it was calledH7121 MarahH4785. 24And the peopleH5971 murmured against MosesH4872, sayingH559, What shall we drinkH8354? 25And he criedH6817 unto Jehovah; and Jehovah showed him a treeH6086, and he castH7993 it into the watersH4325, and the watersH4325 were madeH7760 sweetH4985. There he madeH7760 for them a statuteH2706 and an ordinanceH4941, and there he proved them; 26and he saidH559, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voiceH6963 of Jehovah thy GodH430, and wilt do that which is rightH3477 in his eyesH5869, and wilt giveH238 earH238 to his commandmentsH4687, and keepH8104 all his statutesH2706, I will putH7760 none of the diseases upon thee, which I have putH7760 upon the Egyptians: for I am Jehovah that healeth thee.

27And they cameH935 to ElimH362, where were twelve springs of waterH4325, and threescore and ten palm-trees: and they encampedH2583 there by the watersH4325.
