Context of Exodus 15:11

9The enemy said, ‘I will chase, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand will destroy them.’ 10But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you? – majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, working wonders? 12You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them. 13By your loyal love you will lead the people whom you have redeemed; you will guide them by your strength to your holy dwelling place.

Commentaries on Exodus 15:11

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? - We have already seen that all the Egyptian gods, or the objects of the Egyptians' idolatry, were confounded, and rendered completely despicable, by the ten plagues, which appear to have been directed principally against them. Here the people of God exult over them afresh: Who among these gods is like unto Thee? They can neither save nor destroy; Thou dost both in the most signal manner. As the original…Read the comment
• 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.
