Exodus 15 · Parashat Beshalach

Then sang Moshe and the children of Yisra᾽el this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying, I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider has he thrown into the sea.

The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

Par῾o’s chariots and his host has he thrown into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Sea of Suf.

The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom like stone.

Thy right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.

And in the greatness of thy excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou didst send forth thy anger, which consumed them as stubble.

And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were piled up, the floods stood upright like a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them, they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

Thou didst stretch out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people whom thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation.

The people shall hear, and be afraid: trembling shall take hold of the inhabitants of Peleshet.

Then the chiefs of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Mo᾽av, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Kena῾an shalt melt away.

Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thy arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, whom thou hast acquired.

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

For the horse of Par῾o went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought the waters of the sea back upon them; but the children of Yisra᾽el went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

And Miryam the prophetess, the sister of Aharon, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

And Miryam answered them, Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider has he thrown into the sea.

So Moshe brought Yisra᾽el from the Sea of Suf, and they went out to the wilderness of Shur; and they marched three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

And when they came to Mara, they could not drink of the waters of Mara, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Mara.

And the people murmured against Moshe, saying, What shall we drink?

And he cried to the Lord; and the Lord showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he tested them,

and he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is 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 Miżrayim: for I am the Lord that heals thee.

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