19 When Pharaoh’s horses with his chariots and horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought the water of the sea back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground. 20 Then the prophetess Miriam,i Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women came out following her with tambourines and dancing.j 21 Miriam sang to them:

Sing to the Lord,

for he is highly exalted;

he has thrown the horse

and its rider into the sea.
