שמות טוExodus 15

Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to GOD. They said:I will sing to GOD, who has triumphed gloriously;Horse and driver have been hurled into the sea.

Yah. is my strength and might, And has become my deliverance.This is my God whom I will enshrine;The God of my father, whom I will exalt.

The ETERNAL One, the Warrior—Whose name is GOD [יהוה]!

Pharaoh’s chariots and his armyHave been cast into the sea;And the pick of his officersAre drowned in the Sea of Reeds.

The deeps covered them;They went down into the depths like a stone.

Your right hand, O ETERNAL One, glorious in power,Your right hand, O ETERNAL One, shatters the foe!

In Your great triumph You break Your opponents;You send forth Your fury, it consumes them like straw.

At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up,The floods stood straight like a wall;The deeps froze in the heart of the sea.

The foe said,“I will pursue, I will overtake,I will divide the spoil;My desire shall have its fill of them.I will bare my sword—My hand shall subdue them.”

You made Your wind blow, the sea covered them;They sank like lead in the majestic waters.

Who is like You, O ETERNAL One, among the celestials; Who is like You, majestic in holiness,Awesome in splendor, working wonders!

You put out Your right hand,The earth swallowed them.

In Your love You lead the people You redeemed;In Your strength You guide them to Your holy abode.

The peoples hear, they tremble;Agony grips the dwellers in Philistia.

Now are the clans of Edom dismayed;The tribes of Moab—trembling grips them;All the dwellers in Canaan are aghast.

Terror and dread descend upon them;Through the might of Your arm they are still as stone—Till Your people cross over, O ETERNAL One,Till Your people cross whom You have ransomed.

You will bring them and plant them in Your own mountain,The place You made to dwell in, O ETERNAL One,The sanctuary, O my Sovereign, that Your hands established.

GOD will reign for ever and ever!

For the horses of Pharaoh, with his chariots and riders, went into the sea; and GOD turned back on them the waters of the sea; but the Israelites marched on dry ground in the midst of the sea.

Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, picked up a hand-drum, and all the women went out after her in dance with hand-drums.

And Miriam chanted for them:Sing to GOD, who has triumphed gloriously;Horse and driver have been hurled into the sea.

Then Moses caused Israel to set out from the Sea of Reeds. They went on into the wilderness of Shur; they traveled three days in the wilderness and found no water.

They came to Marah, but they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; that is why it was named Marah.

And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”

So he cried out to GOD, and GOD showed him a piece of wood; he threw it into the water and the water became sweet.There a fixed rule was made for them; there they were put to the test:

“If you will heed the ETERNAL your God diligently, doing what is upright in My sight, giving ear to My commandments and keeping all My laws, then I will not bring upon you any of the diseases that I brought upon the Egyptians, for I GOD am your healer.”

And they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there beside the water.
