Context of Exodus 15:10
8With the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps became firm ground in the heart of the sea. 9The enemy said, “I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil. My lust shall gorge on them! I will draw my sword— my hand will destroy them.” You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. 11Who is like You, Adonai, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in praises, doing wonders? 12You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
