[1] Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and
said, "I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously: The horse
and his rider he has thrown into the sea. [2] Yah is my strength and song,
He has become my salvation: This is my God, and I will praise him; My
father`s God, and I will exalt him. [3] Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh
is his name. [4] Pharaoh`s chariots and his host has he cast into the sea;
His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea. [5] The deeps cover them.
They went down into the depths like a stone. [6] Your right hand, Yahweh,
is glorious in power, Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in
pieces. [7] In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who
rise up against you: You send forth your wrath. It consumes them as
stubble. [8] With the blast of your nostrils the waters were piled up.
The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the
heart of the sea. [9] The enemy said, `I will pursue, I will overtake, I
will divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I
will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.` [10] You blew with your
wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
[11] Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious
in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? [12] You stretched out
your right hand. The earth swallowed them. [13] "You, in your
lovingkindness, have led the people that you have redeemed. You
have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation. [14] The peoples
have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of
Philistia. [15] Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes
hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted
away. [16] Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm
they are as still as a stone; Until your people pass over, Yahweh,
Until the people pass over who you have purchased. [17] You shall bring
them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, The
place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; The
sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established. [18] Yahweh shall reign
forever and ever." [19] For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots
and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of
the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst
of the sea. [20] Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a
tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with
tambourines and with dances. [21] Miriam answered them, "Sing to Yahweh,
for he has triumphed gloriously: The horse and his rider he has thrown into
the sea." [22] Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out
into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness,
and found no water. [23] When they came to Marah, they couldn`t drink from
the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was
called Marah. [24] The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall
we drink?" [25] Then he cried to Yahweh. Yahweh showed him a tree, and he
threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a
statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them; [26] and he
said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and
will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his
commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on
you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you."
[27] They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and
seventy palm-trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
