Psalms 114:1 - Exposition
When Israel went out of Egypt ; literally, at the going forth of Israel from Egypt ; ἐν ἐξόδῳ ἰσράηλ , LXX . The "going forth from Egypt" was the only thing parallel in Israelitish history to the going forth from Babylon. The nation should learn what to expect in the future by what occurred in the past. The house of Jacob (compare the more common "house of Israel," Psalms 98:3 ; Psalms 115:12 ; Psalms 135:19 ) from a people of strange language ; literally, from a stammering people ; but a people of foreign speech is no doubt meant.
