Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 15:1-21

1-21 This song is the most ancient we know of. It is a holy song, to the honour of God, to exalt his name, and celebrate his praise, and his only, not in the least to magnify any man. Holiness to the Lord is in every part of it. It may be considered as typical, and prophetical of the final destruction of the enemies of the church. Happy the people whose God is the Lord. They have work to do, temptations to grapple with, and afflictions to bear, and are weak in themselves; but his grace is their... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 15:1-18

The Song of Triumph v. 1. Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, a hymn of praise and thanksgiving for deliverance from their mighty enemies, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously, He has set forth His great majesty; the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea, all the host in which Pharaoh placed his trust was overcome and destroyed in a few moments by the almighty power of God. v. 2. The Lord is my Strength and... read more

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
