1Damals sangen Mose und die Israeliten dies Lied dem HERRN und sprachen: Ich will dem HERRN singen, denn er ist hoch erhaben; Ross und Reiter hat er ins Meer gestürzt. (Offb 15,3)2Der HERR ist meine Stärke und mein Lobgesang und ist mein Heil. Das ist mein Gott, ich will ihn preisen, er ist meines Vaters Gott, ich will ihn erheben. (Ps 118,14; Jes 12,2)3Der HERR ist der rechte Kriegsmann, HERR ist sein Name. (2Mo 3,15; 2Mo 14,14; Ps 46,10)4Des Pharao Wagen und seine Macht warf er ins Meer, seine auserwählten Streiter versanken im Schilfmeer.5Fluten haben sie bedeckt, sie sanken in die Tiefe wie Steine. (1Mo 1,2; 1Mo 7,11)6HERR, deine rechte Hand, herrlich an Kraft, deine rechte Hand, HERR, zerschlägt den Feind. (Ps 118,15)7Und mit deiner großen Herrlichkeit hast du deine Widersacher gestürzt; denn als du deinen Grimm ausließest, verzehrte er sie wie Stoppeln.8Durch dein Schnauben türmten die Wasser sich auf, die Fluten standen wie ein Wall; die Tiefen erstarrten mitten im Meer. (Jos 3,13; Ps 78,13; Jes 51,10)9Der Feind gedachte: Ich will nachjagen und ergreifen und den Raub austeilen und meinen Mut an ihnen kühlen. Ich will mein Schwert ziehen, und meine Hand soll sie verderben.10Da ließest du deinen Wind blasen, und das Meer bedeckte sie, und sie sanken unter wie Blei im mächtigen Wasser.11HERR, wer ist dir gleich unter den Göttern? Wer ist dir gleich, der so herrlich und heilig ist, schrecklich, löblich und wundertätig? (2Mo 8,6; 2Mo 18,11; Ps 86,8)12Als du deine rechte Hand ausrecktest, verschlang sie die Erde.13Du hast geleitet durch deine Barmherzigkeit dein Volk, das du erlöst hast, und hast sie geführt durch deine Stärke zu deiner heiligen Wohnung.14Als das die Völker hörten, erbebten sie; Angst kam die Philister an. (Jos 2,9)15Da erschraken die Fürsten Edoms, Zittern kam die Gewaltigen Moabs an, alle Bewohner Kanaans wurden feig.16Es fiel auf sie Erschrecken und Furcht; vor deinem mächtigen Arm erstarrten sie wie die Steine, bis dein Volk, HERR, hindurchzog, bis das Volk hindurchzog, das du erworben hast.17Du brachtest sie hinein und pflanztest sie ein auf dem Berge deines Erbteils, den du, HERR, dir zur Wohnung gemacht hast, zu deinem Heiligtum, Herr, das deine Hand bereitet hat. (Ps 78,54)18Der HERR wird König sein immer und ewig. (Ps 93,1)19Denn der Pharao zog hinein ins Meer mit Rossen und Wagen und Reitern. Und der HERR ließ das Meer wieder über sie kommen. Aber die Israeliten gingen trocken mitten durchs Meer. (2Mo 14,22)20Da nahm Mirjam, die Prophetin, Aarons Schwester, eine Pauke in ihre Hand, und alle Frauen folgten ihr nach mit Pauken im Reigen. (Ps 68,26)21Und Mirjam sang ihnen vor: Lasst uns dem HERRN singen, denn er ist hoch erhaben; Ross und Reiter hat er ins Meer gestürzt.
Israel in Mara und Elim
22Da ließ Mose Israel vom Schilfmeer aufbrechen, und sie zogen zur Wüste Schur. Und sie wanderten drei Tage in der Wüste und fanden kein Wasser. (1Mo 20,1)23Da kamen sie nach Mara; aber sie konnten das Wasser von Mara nicht trinken, denn es war sehr bitter. Daher nannte man den Ort Mara.24Da murrte das Volk wider Mose und sprach: Was sollen wir trinken? (2Mo 16,2)25Er schrie zu dem HERRN, und der HERR zeigte ihm ein Holz; das warf er ins Wasser, da wurde es süß. Dort gab er ihnen Gesetz und Recht und versuchte sie (1Mo 22,1; 2Mo 16,4)26und sprach: Wirst du der Stimme des HERRN, deines Gottes, gehorchen und tun, was recht ist vor ihm, und merken auf seine Gebote und halten alle seine Gesetze, so will ich dir keine der Krankheiten auferlegen, die ich den Ägyptern auferlegt habe; denn ich bin der HERR, dein Arzt. (1Mo 20,17; 5Mo 7,15; 5Mo 32,39; Ps 30,3; Jes 57,18)27Und sie kamen nach Elim; da waren zwölf Wasserquellen und siebzig Palmbäume. Und sie lagerten sich dort am Wasser.
1Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying, “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider[1] he has thrown into the sea. (2Mo 15,21; Ri 5,1; 2Sam 22,1; Ps 106,12)2The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. (2Mo 3,6; 2Mo 3,15; 5Mo 10,21; 2Sam 22,47; Ps 18,1; Ps 18,46; Ps 34,3; Ps 59,17; Ps 99,5; Ps 99,9; Ps 109,1; Ps 118,14; Ps 118,28; Ps 140,7; Ps 145,1; Jes 12,2; Jes 25,1; Hab 3,18)3The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name. (2Mo 3,15; 2Mo 6,3; Ps 24,8; Ps 83,18; Jes 42,8; Mal 3,6; Offb 19,11)4“Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he cast into the sea, and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea. (2Mo 14,7; 2Mo 14,28)5The floods covered them; they went down into the depths like a stone. (2Mo 14,28; 2Mo 15,10; Neh 9,11)6Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power, your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy. (2Mo 15,12; Ps 2,9; Ps 118,15; Jes 51,9; Offb 2,27)7In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries; you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble. (5Mo 33,26; Jes 5,24; Jes 47,14; Mal 4,1)8At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up; the floods stood up in a heap; the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea. (2Mo 14,21; Jos 3,16; 2Sam 22,16; Hi 4,9; Ps 18,15; Ps 78,13; Hab 3,10; 2Thess 2,8)9The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them. I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’ (1Mo 49,27; 2Mo 14,9; Ri 5,30; Jes 53,12; Lk 11,22)10You blew with your wind; the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters. (2Mo 14,21; 2Mo 14,28; 2Mo 15,5; Jes 11,15; Jes 40,24)11“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders? (5Mo 3,24; 1Sam 2,2; 2Sam 7,22; 1Kön 8,23; 2Chr 6,14; Ps 77,14; Jes 6,3; Jer 10,6; Offb 4,8)12You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them. (2Mo 15,6)13“You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed; you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode. (Ps 77,15; Ps 77,20; Ps 78,54)14The peoples have heard; they tremble; pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia. (4Mo 14,14; 5Mo 2,25; Jos 2,9; Jos 9,24)15Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed; trembling seizes the leaders of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away. (4Mo 22,3; 5Mo 2,4; Jos 2,9; Jos 2,11; Jos 2,24; Jos 5,1)16Terror and dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone, till your people, O Lord, pass by, till the people pass by whom you have purchased. (5Mo 2,25; 5Mo 11,25; 1Sam 25,37; Ps 74,2; 1Petr 2,9)17You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain, the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode, the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established. (Ps 44,2; Ps 78,54; Ps 80,8; Ps 132,13; Jer 32,41)18The Lord will reign forever and ever.” (Ps 10,16; Ps 29,10; Ps 45,6; Ps 146,10; Offb 11,15)19For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea. (2Mo 14,23; 2Mo 14,28)20Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing. (2Mo 2,4; 4Mo 26,59; Ri 4,4; Ri 11,34; 1Sam 18,6; 2Kön 22,14; Neh 6,14; Ps 68,25; Ps 149,3; Ps 150,4; Mi 6,4; Lk 2,36)21And Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.” (2Mo 15,1)
Bitter Water Made Sweet
22Then Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea, and they went into the wilderness of Shur. They went three days in the wilderness and found no water. (1Mo 16,7; 1Mo 25,18; 1Sam 15,7)23When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; therefore it was named Marah.[2] (Rut 1,20)24And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” (2Mo 16,2; 2Mo 17,3)25And he cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log,[3] and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the Lord[4] made for them a statute and a rule, and there he tested them, (2Mo 14,10; 2Mo 16,4; 2Mo 17,4; 5Mo 8,2; 5Mo 8,16; Ri 2,22; Ri 3,1; Ri 3,4; 2Kön 2,21; 2Kön 4,41; Ps 66,10)26saying, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer.” (2Mo 23,25; 3Mo 26,3; 5Mo 7,12; 5Mo 28,27; 5Mo 28,60; Ps 103,3; Ps 147,3; Hos 6,1)27Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the water. (4Mo 33,9)
2.Mose 15
King James Version
1Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.2The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father' God, and I will exalt him.3The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.4Pharaoh' chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.5The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.6Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.7And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.8And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.9The 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.10Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.11Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?12Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.13Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.14The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.15Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.16Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.17Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine 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.18The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.19For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.20And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.21And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.22So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.23And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.24And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?25And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed 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 proved them,26And 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 the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.27And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
