John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 15:1-27

The Song of MosesOn the further shore of the Red Sea the Israelites celebrate their deliverance in a magnificent hymn of praise. It consists of three strophes or stanzas of increasing length, viz. Exodus 15:2-5, Exodus 15:6-10, Exodus 15:11-18. The first v. is introductory and may have been repeated as a chorus after each stanza: see on Exodus 15:21. On the structure of Hebrew poetry see Introduction to the Psalms. In language and style the song bears many marks of high antiquity. There can be... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 15:22

THE JOURNEY FROM THE RED SEA TO ELIM.(22) So Moses brought Israel.—Rather, And Moses brought Israel. The regular narrative is here resumed from Exodus 14:31, and the Israelites are brought two stages upon their journey towards Sinai (Exodus 3:12)—first to Marah (Exodus 15:23), and next to Elim (Exodus 15:27). It is uncertain at what exact point of the coast they emerged from the sea-bed, but it can scarcely have been at any great distance from the modern Suez. The “springs of Moses,” Ayun Musa,... read more

Exodus 15:2 Happy the heart that has learned to say my God! All religion is contained in that short expression, and all the blessedness that man or angel is capable of. Thomas Erskine. 'He is my God... my father's God.' Compare the early reflection of Dr. John G. Paton, the New Hebrides missionary, as he watched the piety of his old father in the home: 'He walked with God; why may not I?' Lord, I find my Saviour's genealogy strangely chequered with four remarkable changes in four immediate... read more

CHAPTER XV.THE SONG OF MOSES.Exodus 15:1-22.During this halt they prepared that great song of triumph which St. John heard sung by them who had been victorious over the beast, standing by the sea of glass, having the harps of God. For by that calmer sea, triumphant over a deadlier persecution, they still found their adoration and joy expressed in this earliest chant of sacred victory. Because all holy hearts give like thanks to Him Who sitteth upon the throne, therefore "deep answers unto... read more

SHUR.Exodus 15:22-27.From the Red Sea the Israelites marched into the wilderness of Shur--a general name, of Egyptian origin, for the district between Egypt and Palestine, of which Etham, given as their route in Numbers (Numbers 33:8), is a subdivision. The rugged way led over stone and sand, with little vegetation and no water. And the "three days’ journey" to Marah, a distance of thirty-three miles, was their first experience of absolute hardship, for not even the curtain of miraculous cloud... read more

II. THE JOURNEY TOWARDS THE PROMISED LAND AND ISRAEL AT SINAI 1. The Experiences in the Wilderness CHAPTER 15:22-27 In the Wilderness of Shur 1. Marah (Exodus 15:22-26 ) 2. Elim (Exodus 15:27 ) They went out into the wilderness of Shur. Shur was a great wall of protection which Egypt had erected. The surrounding country was called by that name. The trials of the wilderness journey at once begin; typical of our passage as redeemed ones through this world. Redemption has for a consequence... read more

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

Moses At Marah Exo 15:23-25 The children of Israel had just concluded their song of thankfulness for deliverance from the hand of Pharaoh and his hosts. A very wonderful song too had they sung. It might have had the thunder for an accompaniment, so solemn was it and so majestic. It rises and falls like the great billows of the sea. Now it roars by reason of its mightiness, and presently it subsides into a tone of tremulous pathos. The children of Israel had been made "more than conquerors";... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 15:22

Shur over against Egypt. Genesis 25:18 . There is somewhat worthy remark in those three days travelling. You will find similar examples in other parts of scripture. Numbers 10:33 . So they were commanded at first, to obtain leave from Pharaoh. See Exodus 3:18 . And is not this, in a spiritual sense, sometimes the case of the seeking soul? They found no water. read more
