Exodus 15:2 Happy the heart that has learned to say my God! All religion is contained in that short expression, and all the blessedness that man or angel is capable of. Thomas Erskine. 'He is my God... my father's God.' Compare the early reflection of Dr. John G. Paton, the New Hebrides missionary, as he watched the piety of his old father in the home: 'He walked with God; why may not I?' Lord, I find my Saviour's genealogy strangely chequered with four remarkable changes in four immediate... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 15:22-27

SHUR.Exodus 15:22-27.From the Red Sea the Israelites marched into the wilderness of Shur--a general name, of Egyptian origin, for the district between Egypt and Palestine, of which Etham, given as their route in Numbers (Numbers 33:8), is a subdivision. The rugged way led over stone and sand, with little vegetation and no water. And the "three days’ journey" to Marah, a distance of thirty-three miles, was their first experience of absolute hardship, for not even the curtain of miraculous cloud... read more

15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is {o} right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the LORD that healeth thee.(o) Which is, to do only what God commanded. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 15:1-27

THE SONG OF SALVATION (vs.1-19) This is the first song found in scripture, and a most fitting response to the greatness of God's victory in delivering His people. It is an expression of joy in the Lord and "the joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10). They needed such strength as they began their wilderness journey, just as we too need it for our Christian path with its many trials. Thank God that He can supply such fulness of joy at the contemplation of our eternal redemption in... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 15:22-27

Moses At Marah Exo 15:23-25 The children of Israel had just concluded their song of thankfulness for deliverance from the hand of Pharaoh and his hosts. A very wonderful song too had they sung. It might have had the thunder for an accompaniment, so solemn was it and so majestic. It rises and falls like the great billows of the sea. Now it roars by reason of its mightiness, and presently it subsides into a tone of tremulous pathos. The children of Israel had been made "more than conquerors";... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 15:26

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "I am the Lord that healeth thee." Exodus 15:26 . Every man must have his own special revelation of God. Some have never seen God in what may be called his metaphysical relations; they do not, in that sense, know God. Others know him in his relation to affliction, sorrow, and the whole of the enduring side of life. They cannot account for their deliverances except by a superior power. In their memory is the recollection of a pit out of which they were... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 15:22-27

22-27 In the wilderness of Shur the Israelites had no water. At Marah they had water, but it was bitter; so that they could not drink it. God can make bitter to us that from which we promise ourselves most, and often does so in the wilderness of this world, that our wants, and disappointments in the creature, may drive us to the Creator, in whose favour alone true comfort is to be had. In this distress the people fretted, and quarrelled with Moses. Hypocrites may show high affections, and... read more
