Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 15:11-15
"Who is like unto thee, O Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness? Fearful in praises, doing wonders? Thou stretchest out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. Thou in thy lovingkindness hast led the people that thou hast redeemed. Thou has guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation. The people have heard, they tremble: Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia. Then were the chiefs of Edom dismayed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling taketh hold... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 15:16-18
"Terror and dread falleth upon them; By the greatness of thine arm they are as still as a stone. Till thy people pass over, O Jehovah, Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased. Thou wilt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, The place, O Jehovah, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, The sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. Jehovah shall reign forever and ever."The use of mingled present and future tenses here confirms the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 15:14-16
Exodus 15:14-16. The people shall hear, &c.— The sublimity of this passage would appear much more striking if it were rendered, agreeably to the Hebrew, The people hear, they tremble: sorrow takes hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. Straight (אז * az) the dukes of Edom are amazed: the mighty men of Moab, trembling takes hold upon them: all the inhabitants of Canaan melt away. Terror falls upon them: and fear, from the greatness of thine arm. They shall be dumb as a stone; till thy people... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 15:1-21
3. Israel’s song of deliverance 15:1-21"The song is composed of three gradually increasing strophes, each of which commences with the praise of Jehovah, and ends with a description of the overthrow of the Egyptian host (Exodus 15:2-18). The theme announced in the introduction in Exodus 15:1 is thus treated in three different ways; and whilst the omnipotence of God, displayed in the destruction of the enemy, is the prominent topic in the first two strophes, the third depicts with prophetic... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 15:1-27
The Song of MosesOn the further shore of the Red Sea the Israelites celebrate their deliverance in a magnificent hymn of praise. It consists of three strophes or stanzas of increasing length, viz. Exodus 15:2-5, Exodus 15:6-10, Exodus 15:11-18. The first v. is introductory and may have been repeated as a chorus after each stanza: see on Exodus 15:21. On the structure of Hebrew poetry see Introduction to the Psalms. In language and style the song bears many marks of high antiquity. There can be... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 15:13-18
(13-18) The concluding stanza of the ode involves a change of attitude, and deals with new matters. The poet’s eye fixes itself upon the future. First, he speaks of the guidance of God, lately begun, and about to continue until Canaan is reached (Exodus 15:13). Then his glance turns to the enemies of Israel, and he considers. The effect which the miraculous deliverance of Israel from Egypt will have upon them (Exodus 15:14-16). Finally, he sees the people brought into the “land of their... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 15:15
(15) The dukes of Edom.—Comp. Genesis 36:15, where the same title is found. Apparently in the course of the thirty-eight years between the Exodus and the approach to. Canaan, the oligarchy of “dukes” had been replaced by a monarchy. (See Numbers 20:14.) The fear of Israel had also passed away; and the Edomites “came out against Moses with much people, and with a strong hand,” laying a foundation for that prolonged hatred of which we have traces in 2 Samuel 8:14; 1 Kings 11:14-22; 2 Kings... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 15:16
(16) Fear and dread shall fall upon them.—A portion of the Edomites felt so much fear of Israel that they allowed them to pass through their coasts (Deuteronomy 2:4). The Moabites of Aracted similarly (Deuteronomy 2:29).Till thy people pass over—i.e., cross the frontier of the Canaanites, and enter their country. There is no need to suppose that Moses had as yet any distinct idea of the place where the frontier would be crossed. read more
