Exodus 15
New King James Version
The Song of Moses(A)
15 Then (B)Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying:
“I will (C)sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!
2 The Lord is my strength and (D)song,
And He has become my salvation;
He is my God, and (E)I will praise Him;
My (F)father’s God, and I (G)will exalt Him.
3 The Lord is a man of (H)war;
The Lord is His (I)name.
4 (J)Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea;
(K)His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.
5 The depths have covered them;
(L)They sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 “Your (M)right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power;
Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.
7 And in the greatness of Your (N)excellence
You have overthrown those who rose against You;
You sent forth (O)Your wrath;
It (P)consumed them (Q)like stubble.
8 And (R)with the blast of Your nostrils
The waters were gathered together;
(S)The floods stood upright like a heap;
The depths [a]congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 (T)The enemy said, ‘I will pursue,
I will overtake,
I will (U)divide the spoil;
My desire shall be satisfied on them.
I will draw my sword,
My hand shall destroy them.’
10 You blew with Your wind,
The sea covered them;
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 “Who(V) is like You, O Lord, among the [b]gods?
Who is like You, (W)glorious in holiness,
Fearful in (X)praises, (Y)doing wonders?
12 You stretched out Your right hand;
The earth swallowed them.
13 You in Your mercy have (Z)led forth
The people whom You have redeemed;
You have guided them in Your strength
To (AA)Your holy habitation.
14 “The (AB)people will hear and be afraid;
(AC)Sorrow[c] will take hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 (AD)Then (AE)the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed;
(AF)The mighty men of Moab,
Trembling will take hold of them;
(AG)All the inhabitants of Canaan will (AH)melt away.
16 (AI)Fear and dread will fall on them;
By the greatness of Your arm
They will be (AJ)as still as a stone,
Till Your people pass over, O Lord,
Till the people pass over
(AK)Whom You have purchased.
17 You will bring them in and (AL)plant them
In the (AM)mountain of Your inheritance,
In the place, O Lord, which You have made
For Your own dwelling,
The (AN)sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.
18 “The(AO) Lord shall reign forever and ever.”
19 For the (AP)horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and (AQ)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 Miriam(AR)
20 Then Miriam (AS)the prophetess, (AT)the sister of Aaron, (AU)took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her (AV)with timbrels and with dances. 21 And Miriam (AW)answered them:
(AX)“Sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!”
Bitter Waters Made Sweet
22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of (AY)Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no (AZ)water. 23 Now when they came to (BA)Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called [d]Marah. 24 And the people (BB)complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25 So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. (BC)When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet.
There He (BD)made a statute and an [e]ordinance for them, and there (BE)He tested them, 26 and said, (BF)“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 (BG)diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord (BH)who heals you.”
27 (BI)Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there by the waters.

The Song of Moses and Israel
15 (A)Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to Yahweh [a]and said,
“[b](B)I will sing to Yahweh, for He [c]is highly exalted;
(C)The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.
2 [d](D)Yah is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation;
(E)This is my God, and I will praise Him;
(F)My father’s God, and I will (G)extol Him.
3 (H)Yahweh is a warrior;
(I)Yahweh is His name.
4 (J)Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea;
And the choicest of his officers are sunk in the [e]Red Sea.
5 The deeps cover them;
(K)They went down into the depths like a stone.
6 (L)Your right hand, O Yahweh, is majestic in power,
(M)Your right hand, O Yahweh, shatters the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of Your [f]exaltation You (N)pull down those who rise up against You;
(O)You send forth Your burning anger, and it (P)devours them as chaff.
8 (Q)And at the blast of Your nostrils the waters were piled up,
(R)The flowing waters stood up like a heap;
The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 (S)The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will (T)divide the spoil;
My [g]desire shall be fulfilled against them;
I will draw out my sword, my hand will dispossess them.’
10 (U)You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them;
(V)They sank like lead in the [h]mighty waters.
11 (W)Who is like You among the gods, O Yahweh?
Who is like You, (X)majestic in holiness,
(Y)Fearsome in praises, (Z)working wonders?
12 (AA)You stretched out Your right hand,
The earth swallowed them.
13 In Your lovingkindness You have (AB)guided the people whom You have (AC)redeemed;
In Your strength You have led them (AD)to Your holy habitation.
14 (AE)The peoples have heard, they tremble;
Anguish has seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Then the (AF)chiefs of Edom were dismayed;
(AG)The leaders of Moab, trembling seizes them;
(AH)All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
16 (AI)Terror and dread fall upon them;
(AJ)By the greatness of Your arm they are still as stone;
Until Your people pass over, O Yahweh,
Until the people pass over whom You (AK)have purchased.
17 (AL)You will bring them and (AM)plant them in (AN)the mountain of Your inheritance,
(AO)The place, O Yahweh, which You have made for You to inhabit,
(AP)The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.
18 (AQ)Yahweh shall reign forever and ever.”
19 (AR)For the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the sons of Israel walked on (AS)dry land through the midst of the sea.
20 (AT)And Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took the (AU)tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with [i](AV)dancing. 21 And Miriam answered them,
“(AW)Sing to Yahweh, for He [j]is highly exalted;
The horse and his rider He has hurled into the sea.”
Yahweh Sweetens the Water
22 (AX)Then Moses [k]had Israel set out from the [l]Red Sea, and they went out into (AY)the wilderness of (AZ)Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23 And they came to (BA)Marah, but they could not drink the waters [m]of Marah, for they were [n]bitter; therefore it was named [o]Marah. 24 So the people (BB)grumbled at Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25 Then he (BC)cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh showed him (BD)a tree; and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet.
There He (BE)set for them a statute and a judgment, and there He (BF)tested them. 26 And He said, “(BG)If you will earnestly listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear (BH)to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, (BI)I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, (BJ)Yahweh, am your healer.”
27 Then they came to (BK)Elim where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palms, and they camped there beside the waters.

The Song of Moses and Miriam
15 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song(A) to the Lord:
“I will sing(B) to the Lord,
for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver(C)
he has hurled into the sea.(D)
2 “The Lord is my strength(E) and my defense[a];
he has become my salvation.(F)
He is my God,(G) and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will exalt(H) him.
3 The Lord is a warrior;(I)

4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army(K)

The best of Pharaoh’s officers

5 The deep waters(L) have covered them;
they sank to the depths like a stone.(M)
6 Your right hand,(N) Lord,
was majestic in power.
Your right hand,(O) Lord,
shattered(P) the enemy.
7 “In the greatness of your majesty(Q)
you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;(R)
it consumed(S) them like stubble.
8 By the blast of your nostrils(T)
the waters piled up.(U)
The surging waters stood up like a wall;(V)
the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.(W)
9 The enemy boasted,
‘I will pursue,(X) I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;(Y)
I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword

10 But you blew with your breath,(Z)

and the earth swallows your enemies.(AG)
13 In your unfailing love you will lead(AH)

anguish(AL) will grip the people of Philistia.(AM)
15 The chiefs(AN) of Edom(AO) will be terrified,
the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling,(AP)
the people[c] of Canaan will melt(AQ) away;
16 terror(AR) and dread will fall on them.
By the power of your arm
they will be as still as a stone(AS)—
until your people pass by, Lord,
until the people you bought[d](AT) pass by.(AU)
17 You will bring(AV) them in and plant(AW) them
on the mountain(AX) of your inheritance—
the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling,(AY)
the sanctuary,(AZ) Lord, your hands established.
18 “The Lord reigns
for ever and ever.”(BA)
19 When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen[e] went into the sea,(BB) the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.(BC) 20 Then Miriam(BD) the prophet,(BE) Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels(BF) and dancing.(BG) 21 Miriam sang(BH) to them:
“Sing to the Lord,
for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver(BI)
he has hurled into the sea.”(BJ)
The Waters of Marah and Elim
22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert(BK) of Shur.(BL) For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water.(BM) 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.[f](BN)) 24 So the people grumbled(BO) against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”(BP)
25 Then Moses cried out(BQ) to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw(BR) it into the water, and the water became fit to drink.
There the Lord issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test.(BS) 26 He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep(BT) all his decrees,(BU) I will not bring on you any of the diseases(BV) I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals(BW) you.”
27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped(BX) there near the water.

모세의 노래
15 그때 모세와 이스라엘 백성은 여호와께 이런 노래를 불렀다.
“내가 여호와께 찬송하리라.
그가 영광스럽게 승리하셨으니
말과 마병을 바다에 던지셨음이라.
2 여호와는 나의 힘, 나의 노래,
나의 구원이 되셨네.
그가 나의 하나님이시니
내가 그를 찬양할 것이요
그가 내 아버지의 하나님이시니
내가 그를 높이리라.
3 여호와는 용사이시니
여호와가 그의 이름이시다.
4 그가 바로의 전차와 군대를
바다에 던지셨으므로
그의 가장 우수한 장교들이
홍해에 잠겼으며
5 깊은 물이 그들을 덮었으므로
그들이 돌처럼
깊은 바다에 가라앉고 말았네.
6 “여호와여,
주의 오른손에는 권능이 있어서
원수들을 부숴 버리셨습니다.
7 주는 큰 위엄으로
주를 대적하는 자들을 엎으시고
불 같은 분노를 쏟아
지푸라기처럼
그들을 소멸해 버리셨습니다.
8 주의 콧김에 물이 쌓여
파도가 언덕처럼 일어서고
깊은 물이 바다 가운데서
응고되었습니다.
9 대적들이 으스대며
‘내가 그들을 추격하여
따라 잡으리라.
내가 그들의 재물을 약탈하여
원하는 것을 가지리라.
내가 칼을 뽑아
그들을 멸망시키리라’ 하였으나
10 주께서 바람을 일으켜
바다가 그들을 덮으므로
그들이 납덩이처럼
깊은 물에 빠지고 말았습니다.
11 “여호와여, 신들 중에
주와 같은 자가 누구입니까?
주와 같이 거룩하여 위엄이 있고
영광스러워 두려워할 만하며
놀라운 기적을 행하는 자가
누구입니까?
12 주께서 오른손을 드시므로
땅이 그들을 삼켜 버렸습니다.
13 “주께서는 구원하신 백성을
주의 자비로 인도하시고
주의 힘으로
그들을 주의 거룩한 땅으로
들어가게 하실 것입니다.
14 여러 민족이 듣고 떨 것이며
블레셋 사람들이
공포에 사로잡히고
15 에돔의 지도자들이 놀라며
모압의 권력자들이 두려워하고
가나안 사람들이 놀라서
낙담할 것입니다.
16 공포와 두려움이 미치므로
그들이 주의 크신 능력을 보고
돌같이 굳어
주의 백성이 다 통과할 때까지
꼼짝하지 않을 것입니다.
17 주께서 주의 백성을 인도하여
그들을 주의 산에 심으실 것입니다.
여호와여,
이 곳은
주의 처소를 위해 택하신 곳이며
주의 손으로 지으신 성소입니다.
18 여호와여,
주는 영원히 다스리실 것입니다.”
19 바로의 말과 전차와 마병이 함께 바다에 들어갔을 때 여호와께서 바닷물을 다시 흐르게 하여 그들을 덮어 버리셨다. 그러나 이스라엘 백성은 마른 땅을 밟고 바다를 건너왔다.
20 이때 아론의 누이이며 예언자인 미리암이 소고를 잡자 모든 여자들도 그를 따라 나오며 소고를 잡고 춤을 추었다.
21 이때 미리암이 그들에게 이렇게 노래하였다.
“여호와를 찬송하라!
그가 영광스럽게 승리하셨으니
말과 기병을
바다에 던지셨음이라.”
마라의 쓴물
22 모세는 이스라엘 백성을 홍해에서 인도해 내어 수르 광야로 들어갔다. 그들은 물 없이 3일 동안 광야로 걸어 들어가
23 ‘마라’ 라는 곳에 이르렀는데 그 곳 물은 써서 마실 수가 없었다. 그래서 그 곳 이름을 쓰다는 뜻으로 ‘마라’ 라고 불렀다.
24 백성들이 모세에게 불평하며 “우리는 무엇을 마셔야 합니까?” 하고 물었다.
25 그때 모세가 여호와께 부르짖자 여호와께서 그에게 [a]나무 토막 하나를 보여 주셨다. 그래서 그가 그것을 물에 던져 넣었더니 쓴물이 단물이 되었다. 여호와께서는 거기서 그들이 지킬 법과 규정을 정하시고 그들을 시험하여
26 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “너희가 만일 너희 하나님 나 여호와에게 순종하고 내가 보기에 옳은 일을 행하며 나의 모든 명령을 지키면 내가 이집트 사람들에게 내린 질병을 너희에게 하나도 내리지 않겠다. 나는 너희를 치료하는 여호와이다.”
27 다음으로 그들은 엘림에 이르게 되었다. 그 곳은 열두 개의 샘과 70그루의 종려나무가 있는 곳이었다. 그들은 거기서 물가에 천막을 쳤다.
