Context of Exodus 15:17
15The tribal leaders of Edom will be terrified. The powerful men of Moab will tremble. The people of Canaan will be deathly afraid. 16Terror and dread will fall on them. Because of the power of your arm, they will be petrified until your people pass by, O Lord, until the people you purchased pass by. You will bring them and plant them on your own mountain, the place where you live, O Lord, the holy place that you built with your own hands, O Lord. 18The Lord will rule as king forever and ever.” 19When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and cavalry went into the sea, the Lord made the water of the sea flow back over them. However, the Israelites had gone through the sea on dry ground.
