Exodus 15

New International Version

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.
³The Lord is a warrior;^(I)
    the Lord is his name.^(J)
⁴Pharaoh’s chariots and his army^(K)
    he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers
    are drowned in the Red Sea.^[b]
⁵The deep waters^(L) have covered them;
    they sank to the depths like a stone.^(M)
⁶Your 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.
⁸By 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)
⁹The 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
    and my hand will destroy them.’
¹⁰But you blew with your breath,^(Z)
    and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
    in the mighty waters.^(AA)
¹¹Who among the gods
    is like you,^(AB) Lord?
Who is like you—
    majestic in holiness,^(AC)
awesome in glory,^(AD)
    working wonders?^(AE)

¹²“You stretch out^(AF) your right hand,
    and the earth swallows your enemies.^(AG)
¹³In your unfailing love you will lead^(AH)
    the people you have redeemed.^(AI)
In your strength you will guide them
    to your holy dwelling.^(AJ)
¹⁴The nations will hear and tremble;^(AK)
    anguish^(AL) will grip the people of Philistia.^(AM)
¹⁵The 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)
¹⁷You 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)

¹⁹When 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) ²⁰Then 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) ²¹Miriam 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

²²Then 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) ²³When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.^[f]^(BN)) ²⁴So the people grumbled^(BO) against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”^(BP)

²⁵Then 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) ²⁶He 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.”

²⁷Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped^(BX) there near the water.

New International Version

Jesus Goes to the Festival of Tabernacles

7 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want^[a] to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders^(A) there were looking for a way to kill him.^(B) ²But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles^(C) was near, ³Jesus’ brothers^(D) said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do. ⁴No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” ⁵For even his own brothers did not believe in him.^(E)

⁶Therefore Jesus told them, “My time^(F) is not yet here; for you any time will do. ⁷The world cannot hate you, but it hates me^(G) because I testify that its works are evil.^(H) ⁸You go to the festival. I am not^[b] going up to this festival, because my time^(I) has not yet fully come.” ⁹After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.

¹⁰However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret. ¹¹Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus^(J) and asking, “Where is he?”

¹²Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.”

Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”^(K) ¹³But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.^(L)

Jesus Teaches at the Festival

¹⁴Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.^(M) ¹⁵The Jews^(N) there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning^(O) without having been taught?”^(P)

¹⁶Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.^(Q) ¹⁷Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out^(R) whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. ¹⁸Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory,^(S) but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. ¹⁹Has not Moses given you the law?^(T) Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”^(U)

²⁰“You are demon-possessed,”^(V) the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”

²¹Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle,^(W) and you are all amazed. ²²Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision^(X) (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs),^(Y) you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath. ²³Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the Sabbath? ²⁴Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”^(Z)
