The Song of Moses1Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying: “I will sing to the Lord,
6“Your right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power;
11“Who is like You, O Lord, among the [b]gods?
14“The people will hear and be afraid; 18“The Lord shall reign forever and ever.” 19For the horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them. But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. The Song of Miriam20Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. 21And Miriam answered them: “Sing to the Lord, Bitter Waters Made Sweet22So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called [d]Marah. 24And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an [e]ordinance for them, and there He tested them, 26and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” 27Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there by the waters. Footnotes:
