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

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 15:1-21

HORSE AND RIDER THROWN THROUGH THE RED SEA ( Exodus 14:0 ) What was the command now given to Moses (Exodus 14:2 )? From Etham, their present stopping place, the next step was of great importance. That town was near the head of the Red Sea at the border of the wilderness of Arabia and the limit of the three days’ journey for which they had applied to Pharaoh. Would they remain there and offer their sacrifices as proposed, or continue their journey and endeavor to leave the country of the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 15:1-21

The Song of Deliverance Exo 15:1-21 The spirit of this song is above verbal criticism. This is the first composition of the sort which has come under our notice, and therefore it occasions the greater surprise and delight We are not just to the song when we go back upon it from a perusal of Isaiah. We put the song into a wrong time-setting, and therefore miss the music of the occasion. Yet even to go back upon it from a perusal of "Paradise Lost" no whit of its magnificence is surrendered. It... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 15:11

Perhaps this expression of God is in reference to the idol gods of Egypt, which were very numerous. Reader! do not hastily pass over these glorious characters in Jehovah: He is glorious in holiness. The unspotted holiness of God is peculiarly praised, in the realms of the blessed. Isaiah 6:3 ; Revelation 4:8 . And it is by this character the Lord Jesus addressed his Father, in that memorable prayer, John 17:11 . By the expression, fearful in praises, may perhaps be meant, the humbleness of soul... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Exodus 15:11

Who....Lord. The initials of these four Hebrew letters, which the Maccabees placed on their banners, (m c b i) probably gave that title to those stout heroes, who rose up in defence of their religion. (Haydock) --- Strong, may be applied either to men, or to the pretended gods of the Gentiles, which seems to agree best with the sequel. Septuagint, "among the gods....wonderful in praises." --- Terrible and. Hebrew, "terrible to praise," requiring that we should perform that duty with awe.... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 15:1-21

1-21 This song is the most ancient we know of. It is a holy song, to the honour of God, to exalt his name, and celebrate his praise, and his only, not in the least to magnify any man. Holiness to the Lord is in every part of it. It may be considered as typical, and prophetical of the final destruction of the enemies of the church. Happy the people whose God is the Lord. They have work to do, temptations to grapple with, and afflictions to bear, and are weak in themselves; but his grace is their... read more

The Song of Triumph v. 1. Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, a hymn of praise and thanksgiving for deliverance from their mighty enemies, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously, He has set forth His great majesty; the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea, all the host in which Pharaoh placed his trust was overcome and destroyed in a few moments by the almighty power of God. v. 2.

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 15:9-21

The Lord Sends Quails and Manna v. 9. And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the Lord; for He hath heard your murmurings. Aaron, as the spokesman of Moses, was to make this announcement, giving the people the assurance that Jehovah had heard, and was ready to grant, the prayer included in their murmuring, in spite of the fact that it indicated a sinful weakness on their part. v. 10. And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the... read more
