Contextual Overview

1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord : "I will sing to the Lord , because he is worthy of great honor. He has thrown the horse and its rider into the sea. 2 The Lord gives me strength and makes me sing; he has saved me. He is my God, and I will praise him. He is the God of my ancestors, and I will honor him. 3 The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name. 4 The chariots and soldiers of the king of Egypt he has thrown into the sea. The king's best officers are drowned in the Red Sea. 5 The deep waters covered them, and they sank to the bottom like a rock. 6 Your right hand, Lord , is amazingly strong. Lord , your right hand broke the enemy to pieces. 7 In your great victory you destroyed those who were against you. Your anger destroyed them, like fire burning straw. 8 Just a blast of your breath, and the waters piled up. The moving water stood like a wall; the deep waters became solid in the middle of the sea. 9 "The enemy bragged, ‘I'll chase them and catch them. I'll take all their riches; I'll take all I want. I'll pull out my sword, and my hand will destroy them.' 10 But you blew on them with your breath and covered them with the sea. They sank like lead in the raging water.

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.
