Shmot (Exodus) - Chapter 15

15:1 Then Mosha and the B'nai Yisrael sang this song to Mar-Yah, and said,

"I will sing to Mar-Yah, for he has triumphed gloriously.
The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
15:2 Mar-Yah is my strength and song.
He has become my salvation.
This is God to me, and I will praise him;
my father's God, and I will exalt him.
15:3 Mar-Yah is The Man of War.
Mar-Yah is his name.
15:4 He has cast Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea.
His chosen captains are sunk in the Sea of Suf.
15:5 The deeps cover them.
They went down into the depths like a stone.
15:6 Your right hand, Mar-Yah, is glorious in power.
Your right hand, Mar-Yah, dashes the enemy in pieces.
15:7 In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you.
You send forth your wrath. It consumes them as stubble.
15:8 With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up.
The floods stood upright as a heap.
The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
15:9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the spoil.
My desire shall be satisfied on them.
I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'
15:10 You blew with your wind.
The sea covered them.
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
15:11 Who is like you, Mar-Yah, among the deities?
Who is like you, glorious in holiness,
fearful in praises, doing wonders?
15:12 You stretched out your right hand.
The earth swallowed them.
15:13 "You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed.
You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.
15:14 The peoples have heard.
They tremble.
Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.
15:15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed.
Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab.
All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.
15:16 Terror and dread falls on them.
By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone—
until your people pass over, Mar-Yah,
until the people pass over who you have purchased.
15:17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance,
the place, Mar-Yah, which you have made for yourself to dwell in;
the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.
15:18 Mar-Yah shall reign forever and ever."
15:19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Mar-Yah brought back the waters of the sea upon them; but the B'nai Yisrael walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and on their right and on their left the waters were as a wall to them.
15:20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances. 15:21 Miriam answered them,

"Sing to Mar-Yah, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."

15:22 Mosha led Yisrael onward from the Sea of Suf, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. 15:23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah. 15:24 The people murmured against Mosha, saying, "What shall we drink?" 15:25 Then he cried to Mar-Yah. Mar-Yah showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them; 15:26 and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of Mar-Yah your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Mar-Yah who heals you."

15:27 They came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
