Exodus 15:12 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 15:12

Thou stretchedst out thy right hand
That is, exerted his power, and gave a display and proof of it; of which the right hand is an emblem: the earth swallowed them;
meaning Pharaoh and his host; for though they were drowned in the sea, that being a part of the terraqueous globe, they may be said to be swallowed in the earth; as Jonah, when in the depth of the sea, the earth and its bars are said to be about him, ( Jonah 2:6 ) and besides, many of Pharaoh's army might be swallowed up in the mud at the bottom of the sea: nor is it improbable that those that were cast upon the banks and sand, whom the Israelites stripped, might be afterwards swallowed up therein.

Exodus 15:12 In-Context

10 Du hauchtest mit deinem Odem, das Meer bedeckte sie; sie sanken unter wie Blei in die gewaltigen Wasser.
11 Wer ist dir gleich unter den Göttern, Jehova! Wer ist dir gleich, herrlich in Heiligkeit, furchtbar an Ruhm, Wunder tuend!
12 Du strecktest deine Rechte aus, die Erde verschlang sie.
13 Du hast durch deine Güte geleitet das Volk, das du erlöst, hast es durch deine Stärke geführt zu deiner heiligen Wohnung.
14 Es hörten's die Völker, sie bebten; Angst ergriff die Bewohner Philistäas.
