The Lord Jehovah is a warrior who fights for Israel and rescues His people. Trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh's pursuing chariots, Israel was brought safely through the divided waters while He triumphed gloriously by casting Pharaoh's chariots and host into the sea and drowning horse and rider in the mighty waters. This is the grateful praise Moses and the children of Israel sang together after witnessing the destruction of the Egyptians, giving glory to God for His deliverance with triumphant voices united to instrumental music. The song stands as a lasting memorial of His power and deliverance to teach their children of His dealings, fixing its lessons in memory to strengthen faith and revealing His power so Israel can safely trust in Him.
Song After the Sea
The verse belongs to the inspired song of lofty eloquence and grateful praise that Moses and the children of Israel sang together after witnessing the destruction of the Egyptians. Miriam the prophetess led the women in music, and the whole host of Israel joined in the song of triumph at their deliverance from Pharaoh's army. It was chanted to instrumental music with the people keeping step as their voices united in praise.
The song gives glory to God for acting on Israel's behalf after He parted the sea and delivered them. It celebrates the victory with triumphant praise for His deliverance from Pharaoh and his army, drowned in the Red Sea. His victory over the Egyptians reveals His power and is celebrated as the reason for Israel's praise, prompting them to sing in triumph and praise for bringing them out of Egypt and protecting them from Pharaoh's pursuing army. The record of the song of triumph after God delivered them from Pharaoh and his warriors stands as their praise to God for this deliverance.
In that setting, with Israel trapped between the Red Sea and the Egyptian chariots, the song celebrates God's strength, salvation, wonders, and guidance. It shows that Israel can safely trust in Him as the warrior who fights for and delivers them.
Lord as Warrior
The Lord Jehovah is named a warrior because He fights for Israel and rescues His people, defeating Egypt's army and delivering them at the Red Sea. In that deliverance He is celebrated as strength and salvation, wonderful in working and faithful in guidance, in whom Israel can safely trust. When Israel was trapped between the Red Sea and the Egyptian chariots, He who had brought them out of Egypt protected them from Pharaoh's pursuing army. He then parted and divided the sea and brought them safely through, acting on their behalf to give them glory for His deed.
He acts as Israel's mighty leader in battle, Jesus enshrouded in the pillar of cloud leading the people while His angels guarded them. His angelic host fought for them, and Israel was kept safe. God Himself fought as a warrior and triumphed gloriously by destroying the Egyptian army that pursued Israel. He threw the horse and his rider into the sea, cast Pharaoh's chariots and his host into the sea, and drowned Pharaoh and his chosen captains in the Red Sea.
His warfare was waged by His glorious right hand in power, dashing the enemy in pieces. He overthrew those who rose against Him and consumed them as stubble with His wrath. He gathered the waters and then blew with His wind so the sea covered them, and they sank as stone and as lead in the mighty waters. That victory over the Egyptians reveals His power and is the reason for Israel's praise, showing that they can safely trust in Him.
Remembering Through Song
The song containing this declaration was formed from Israel's history under divine command so that the people could teach their children about God's dealings with them. It stands as a lasting memorial of His power and deliverance, intended to keep His care and mercy in memory. That memorial use shows how song was employed to fix precious lessons in the mind as the people journeyed through the wilderness. It lifted their thoughts from the trials and difficulties of the way and soothed and calmed the restless, turbulent spirit.
It implanted principles of truth in the memory and strengthened faith. It taught order and unity through concert of action and brought the people into closer touch with God and with one another. The song itself was Israel's song of triumph after God delivered them from Pharaoh and his warriors at the Red Sea, and the people praised Him for that deliverance. Yet their later response at Elim gives no evidence that His mercy and care had strengthened their faith or stirred them to gratitude and praise.
