Contextual Overview

1 Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying, I will sing to Jehovah, for He is highly exalted. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea. 2 My strength and song is Jehovah, and it happened, He was to me salvation; this is my God and I will glorify Him; the God of my father, and I will exalt Him. 3 Jehovah is a Man of war; Jehovah is His name. 4 He has cast Pharaoh's chariots and his army in the sea; and the choice ones of his officers are drowned in the Sea of Reeds, 5 the depths cover them; they have dropped into the depths like a stone. 6 Your right hand , O Jehovah, is glorious in power; O Jehovah, Your right hand dashes the enemy to pieces. 7 And in Your majesty's greatness You pull down those rising up against You; You send forth Your wrath; it consumes them like stubble. 8 And by the spirit of Your anger waters were heaped up; the running waters stood like a wall; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be filled with them; I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them. 10 You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in mighty waters.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Miriam answered them,.... The men, for the word is masculine; that is, repeated, and sung the same song word for word after them, as they had done, of which a specimen is given by reciting the first clause of the song:

sing ye to the Lord; which is by way of exhortation to the women to sing with her, as Moses begins the song thus: "I will sing unto the Lord",

for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea; :-, the manner of their singing, according to the Jews z, was, Moses first said, "I will sing", and they said it after him.

z T. Hieros. Sotah, fol. 20. 3. T. Bab. Sotah, fol. 30. 2.
