Contextual Overview

1 Moses and the Israelites sang this song in praise of the Lord : I sing praises to the Lord for his great victory! He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea. 2 The Lord is my strength, the reason for my song, because he has saved me. I praise and honor the Lord — he is my God and the God of my ancestors. 3 The Lord is his name, and he is a warrior! 4 He threw the chariots and army of Egypt's king into the Red Sea, and he drowned the best of the king's officers. 5 They sank to the bottom just like stones. 6 With the tremendous force of your right arm, our Lord , you crushed your enemies. 7 What a great victory was yours, as you defeated everyone who opposed you. Your fiery anger wiped them out, as though they were straw. 8 You were so furious that the sea piled up like a wall, and the ocean depths curdled like cheese. 9 Your enemies boasted that they would pursue and capture us, divide up our possessions, treat us as they wished, then take out their swords and kill us right there. 10 But when you got furious, they sank like lead, swallowed by ocean waves.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Miriam answered them,.... The men, for the word is masculine; that is, repeated, and sung the same song word for word after them, as they had done, of which a specimen is given by reciting the first clause of the song:

sing ye to the Lord; which is by way of exhortation to the women to sing with her, as Moses begins the song thus: "I will sing unto the Lord",

for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea; :-, the manner of their singing, according to the Jews z, was, Moses first said, "I will sing", and they said it after him.

z T. Hieros. Sotah, fol. 20. 3. T. Bab. Sotah, fol. 30. 2.
