exodus-15:11

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 15:1-18

Moses’ Song of Praise to Jehovah Exodus 15:1-18 This sublime ode falls into three divisions. We learn, first, what God is: strength in the day of battle; song in victory; salvation always. He is the God of our fathers, and our own; the mighty champion of His people. Notice that the Spirit of Inspiration gives but a line or two to Israel’s murmurings, but records this happy song with elaborate care. Praise is comely! We discover, second, what God is to His foes. They are covered by the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 15:1-27

It was a great and glorious song thatrose on the morning air on the far side of the sea. A study of it will reveal it to be a song of the King. It was a high ecstatic moment of national consciousness. In some aspect every movement of it sounds the praise of the King. The reason for the song is God Himself (verses Exo 15:1-2 ). The victory against the proud foe is wholly Jehovah's (verses Exo 15:3-10 ). The leading of His people is His alone (verses Exo 15:11-13 ). The sense of dread that falls... read more

During that time another Pharaoh had arisen who knew not Joseph. As the sons of Jacob multiplied, the king of Egypt became more and more afraid of their possible ascendancy in his empire. Therefore, moved with fear, he began to persecute them, and to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 15:1-21

Exodus 15:0 The Aftermath of the Battle Between Yahweh and Pharaoh’s Army. As a result of Egypt’s defeat a song was composed. There is no good reason for denying that it was written at the time. Songs of a similar genre were found at Ugarit, where some of the ideas are also paralleled, although not with the same significance. Such were no doubt familiar to the patriarchal tribes as they moved around Canaan and in Aram. It may have been written by Moses (who wrote a song (see Deuteronomy 31:22)... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 15:1-21

Exodus 15:1-Ecclesiastes : . The Song of Triumph ( Exodus 15:1 J, Exodus 15:2-Job : ( psalm), Exodus 15:19 R, Exodus 15:20 f. E).— The oldest undoubtedly genuine fragments of Heb. song are short (p. 44). And Miriam’ s brief burst of unpremeditated song ( Exodus 15:21) ranks with the surest and greatest of these. “ Sing to Yahweh, for He rose in His might, horse and chariot (reading recheb) He flung into the sea.” Gressmann claims this song as confirming his volcanic theory of the crossing.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 15:11

Amongst the gods, so called and esteemed; or prince or potentates, as Psalms 29:1; Ezekiel 32:21. Glorious in holiness, or, righteousness: thy power is great and glorious; but thou dost not abuse it to unrighteous and unworthy purposes, but to holy and honourable designs; to the punishment of wicked tyrants, and to the vindication of thy oppressed and holy people. Fearful in praises; in praise-worthy actions; the act being put for the object, as fear is put for a thing to be feared, as Psalms... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 15:1-22

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 15:1. This Song.]—In order fully to appreciate the exquisite beauties of this Song, several conditions must be observed; among them we may name the following:—(1.) The existence of parallelisms should be made evident to the eye:—(Exodus 15:6.)THY RIGHT HAND, Jehovah!THY RIGHT HAND, Jehovah!has become famous in vigour:dashes in pieces the foe.(2.) The vivid sequence of the two Hebrew tenses, the Perfect and the Imperfect, should be noticed:—(Exodus 15:5.)ROARING DEEPS... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Exodus 15:9-11

Exodus 15:9-11 Israel was, in the first place, delivered from the hand of God, and then, as the result of this, Israel was delivered from the hand of Pharaoh. Consider: I. The state of the Israelites when Moses came to them. (1) They were in bondage. (2) They were so far conscious of the misery of their position that they had a strong desire for liberty. (3) They were by no means ready at first to accept the message of God's deliverance. (4) They had their comforts even in slavery. In all these... read more

DISCOURSE: 84THE CHARACTER OF GODExodus 15:11. Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?EXALTED favours may well be repaid in devout acknowledgments: they are the least returns that we can make to our heavenly Benefactor: and so reasonable is this tribute, that persons who are far enough removed from solid piety, will, under a sense of recent obligations, often cordially unite in paying it to the God of their... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 15:1-27

Chapter 15So Moses broke forth in song. Chapter fifteen is actually the song of Moses, of God's deliverance and victory.Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and they spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. The Lord is a man... read more
