The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 15:1-21

The song of Moses and of the Lamb. We cannot fail to connect in our thoughts the circumstances of this magnificent triumph-celebration with that other scene, described in the Apocalypse, where they who have "gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over the number of his name, stand on— i.e; on the margin of—the sea of glass, having the harps of God," and "sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb" ( Revelation 15:2 ). We do not enter into... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 15:1-21

Song of Moses and the Lamb. "And they sing the song of Moses," etc. ( Revelation 15:3 ). It is quite impossible to sever in thought the song by the sea, and the reference in the Book of the Revelation. We therefore take for our text the words chosen, and in our homily keep ever in view—the passage of the sea. I. THE SINGERS . "They that have gotten the victory." But conquerors must first have been soldiers. Here they are Christians who have become part of the Church militant by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 15:1-21

One of the first songs in the Bible— the first Jewish song—we may almost call it the tap-root whence springs the main stem of Jewish psalmody. The art of poetry and instruments of music were no doubt brought from Egypt; the land of slavery was yet the land of science. Such "spoils" were made all the more valuable, and appropriated all the more firmly by consecration (cf. Keble, Christian Year, 3rd Sunday in Lent). All the wealth of the world is at the disposal of God's children—for the earth... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 15:1-18

With the deliverance of Israel is associated the development of the national poetry, which finds its first and perfect expression in this magnificent hymn. It was sung by Moses and the people, an expression which evidently points to him as the author. That it was written at the time is an assertion expressly made in the text, and it is supported by the strongest internal evidence. In every age this song gave the tone to the poetry of Israel; especially at great critical epochs of deliverance:... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 15:1

Exodus 15:1. Then sang Moses this song The first song recorded in Scripture, and, excepting perhaps the book of Job, the most ancient piece of genuine poetry extant in the world. And it cannot be too much admired. It abounds with noble and sublime sentiments, expressed in strong and lofty language. Its figures are bold, its images striking, and every part of it calculated to affect the mind and possess the imagination. There is nothing comparable to it in all the works of profane writers.... read more

Click image for full-size versionMoses’ victory song (15:1-21)The song that Moses and the people sang was more than just a song of rejoicing over a fallen enemy. It was above all a song of praise to God, whose character the people had come to know better in the events of their deliverance from Egypt. He was a God of power who saved his people and overthrew their enemies, a God of terrible majesty and holiness who so directed the forces of nature that arrogant, rebellious people were destroyed... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Exodus 15:1

Moses began and ended his wilderness career with a song. Compare Deuteronomy 32:0 , which is "the" song referred to in Revelation 15:3 . The song proper occupies verses: Exodus 15:4-17 .

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 15:1-2

"Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto Jehovah, and spake saying, I will sing unto Jehovah for he hath triumphed gloriously: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. Jehovah is my strength and song, And he is become my salvation: This is my God, and I will praise him; My father's God, and I will exalt him.""Then sang Moses ..." The proper meaning of this is that Moses not only led the congregation of Israel in singing this praise unto Jehovah, but that he also... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 15:1

Exodus 15:1. Then sang Moses— This is supposed to be the most ancient piece of genuine poetry extant in the world, if, perhaps, we except the Book of Job. The words of Lamech to his wives; the prophecy of Noah concerning his sons; the blessing of Jacob upon the twelve patriarchs, are all, as some learned writers have shewn, composed in regular metre; and therefore may so far be called more ancient pieces of poetry than the present. But this song of Moses has many other characteristics of poetry... read more
