For, this was the nature of rehearsing this song: Moses first spoke the words, and then the nation repeated them; and Miriam did the same with the women. And, though Scripture repeats but one verse, an et cætera must be here understood ; for, it certainly ineans the whole song: but, for brevity-sake, one text only is inserted. Note, it doth not appear by this song, thac Moses was deficient in eloquence, as pretended by the English translator in chap. iv. ver. 10. That is, bitter. # Heb.

First, having retreated to so great a distance as not to be easily overtaken. Second, not having any great property or baggage to take from them, the pursuer dues not think it worth his while to follow them. Third, the victor, disdaining tu stain his sword with the blood of fugitives. Fourth, the fear that the retreated, coming to a convenient pass, may halt, face about, attack them, and perhaps, through despair, fight as men desperate, and change the fortune of the day : to all which Moses alluded. First he said, “I will overtake;" for they are not yet at so great a distance but that I can easily overtake them. Second, “I will divide the spoil ;” for they having taken great riches with them, there consequently is plenty of spuil to divide among my troops. Third, li is proper that I take full vengeance of them for all that I have suffered on their account, and therefore, “ My lust shall be satisfied upon them.” And against the fourth he observed, “ My band shall destroy them"-they are too weak and insignificant to be able to oppose themselves to me, and consequently there is nothing to be dreaded from them. ! This is only a prayer, nut a prediction; for, these nations did not grant them a passage through their land : this doth not mean passing over the sea, as may be understood from the English transla tion, for that was passed over already, but it refers to Edom and Moab to let them go through these land in their way to their inheritance. 1:1 שְׁמוֹ : JTT 5 9 אָמַר 10 נָשַׁפְתּ צללוּ כַּעוֹפֶרֶת בְּמַיִם וְרָכְבוֹ רָמָה בַיָּם : ? עָזִי וְזִמְרָת יָהּ וַיְהִי־לֵי לִישׁוּעָה זֶה אֵלִי וְאַנְוֵהוּ אֱלֹהֵי אָבִי וְאַרְמְמֶנְהוּ: 3 יְהוָה אִישׁ מִלְחָמָה יְהוָה 4 מַרְכְּבֹת פַּרְעֶה וְחֵילוֹ יָרָה בַיָּם וּמִבְחַר שָׁלִשָׁיו טְבְּעוּ בְיַם־סוּף: 5 תְּהמֹת יְכַסִימוּ יָרְדוּ בִמְצוֹלת כְּמוֹ־אָבֶן: 6 יְמִינְךְ יְהוָה נֶזְדָּרֵי בַּכְּחַ יְמִינְךָ יְהוָה תִּרְעץ אוֹיֵב : 7 וּבְרֹב גְאוֹנְךְ תַּהֲרְס קְמֶיךְ תִּשְׁלַח חַרְנְךְ וְאכְלֵמוֹ בַּקָש : 8 וּבְרֶוּחַ אַפֶּיךָ גֶערְמוּ־מַיִם נִצְבוּ כְמוֹרגַד נזלִים קָפְאוּ תְהמת בְּלֶב־ים: אוֹב אֶרְדֹף אַשִׂיג אֲחַלֵּק שָׁלָל תִּמְלָאֵמוֹ נַפְשִׁי אָרִיק חַרְבִּי תּוֹרִישֵׁמוֹ יָדִי : בְרוּחֲךָ כִּסָּמוֹ יָם אַדִּירִים : ו מִי־כָמֹכָה בָּאֵלִם יהוה מִי כָּמְכָה נֶאִשֶׁר בַּקֶדֶשׁ נוֹרָא תְהִלְת עֶשֶׂה־ פלא : 12 נָטִיתָ יְמִינְךְ תִּבְלָעֵמוֹ אָרֶץ: בְחַסְרְךְ עַם זוּ בָּאָלֶת נְהַלְתָּ בְעָנְךְ אֶל־נְוֵה 14 שָׁמְעוּ עַמִּים יִרְגָזין חיל אָחַז יֹשְׁבֵי פְּלָשֶׁת 15 אָז נִבְהֲלוּ אַלּוּפי אֵילֵי מוֹאָב יֹאחֲזָמוֹ רֶעֶד נָמנוּ כָּל יֹשְׁבֵי כְנָעַן : 16 תִּפּל עֲלֵיהֶם אֵימָתָה וָפַחַד בִּנְדָל זְרְעֲךָ יִדְּמוּ כָּאָבֶן עַד־ יַעֲבָר עַמְךְ יְהוָה עד־יעבר עַם-זוּ לוֹ תְּבִאֵמוֹ וְתִטְעֵמוֹ בְּהַר נַחֲלָתך מכון לְשִׁבְתְּךָ פָּעַלְתָּ יְהוָה מקרש אֲדֹנָי כּוֹנְנוּ 18 יְהוָהי יִמְלֹךְ לְעלֶס וֶעֶד : סוּס פַּרְעֹה בְּרִכְבּוֹ וּבְפָרָשָׁיו בַּים וישב יְהוָה עֲלֵהֶם אֶת־מֵי הַיָּם וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הָלְכוּ בַיַּבָּשָׁה בְּתוֹךְ הַיָּם : 13 נָחִית קָדְשֶׁךְ : אדום :1 קָנִיתָ : יָדֶיךְ : 18 19 כִּי בָא פ |
