Context of Exodus 15:13

11Lord, there is nobody like you among all the gods! There is nobody like you anywhere! You are great and holy. Everyone should respect you and praise you. You do great miracles. There is nobody like you! 12You lifted up your right hand. A big hole opened in the ground and our enemies fell into it. You have promised to love your people. So you have saved them and you lead them. With your strength, you show them the way to your holy home. 14The people of other nations will hear what you have done. They will be very afraid. The people who live in Philistia will shake with fear. 15The rulers of Edom will be afraid. The leaders of Moab will shake with fear. The people who live in Canaan will become weak.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1-18Verses 1-18 With the deliverance of Israel is associated the development of the national poetry, which finds its first and perfect expression in this magnificent hymn. It was sung by Moses and the people, an expression which evidently points to him as the author.

They are situated somewhat farther northward along the shore than the opposite point from which the Israelites set out.
