Exodus 15:11–27

^11c“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?

Who is like you, majestic in holiness,

awesome in ^dglorious deeds, ^edoing wonders?

¹²You stretched out ^fyour right hand;

the earth swallowed them.

¹³“You have ^gled in your steadfast love the people whom ^hyou have redeemed;

you have ⁱguided them by your strength to your holy abode.

^14jThe peoples have heard; they tremble;

pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

¹⁵Now are the chiefs of Edom ^kdismayed;

trembling seizes the leaders of ^lMoab;

^mall the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.

¹⁶Terror and ⁿdread fall upon them;

because of the greatness of your arm, they are still ^oas a stone,

till your people, O Lord, pass by,

till the people pass by whom ^pyou have purchased.

¹⁷You will bring them in and ^qplant them on your own mountain,

the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode,

^rthe sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.

^18sThe Lord will reign forever and ever.”

¹⁹For when ^tthe horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, ^uthe Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea. ²⁰Then ^vMiriam ^wthe prophetess, the ^xsister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and ^yall the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing. ²¹And Miriam sang to them:

^z“Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;

the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”

Bitter Water Made Sweet

²²Then Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea, and they went into the wilderness of ^aShur. They went three days in the wilderness and found no water. ²³When they came to ^bMarah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; therefore it was named Marah.^{2 24}And the people ^cgrumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” ²⁵And he ^dcried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log,³ and he ^ethrew it into the water, and the water became sweet.

There the Lord⁴ made for them a statute and a rule, and there he ^ftested them, ²⁶saying, ^g“If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the ^hdiseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, ⁱyour healer.”

²⁷Then ^jthey came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the water.
