Salmos 106:9

9 Reprendió al Mar Rojo, y este quedó seco;los condujo por las profundidades del marcomo si cruzaran el desierto.

Salmos 106:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 106:9

He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up
By sending a strong east wind, which drove the waters back, and made the sea a dry land, ( Exodus 14:21 ) .

So he led them through the depths;
that is, the deep waters of the sea, which were cast up as an heap, and stood as a wall on each side, through which they passed.

As through the wilderness;
or rather, "as on a plain"; for a passage through a wilderness where no roads are, and many obstructions be, is not easy; and so it is manifestly to be understood in ( Isaiah 63:13 ) , where Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it a plain and smooth ground, a champaign country; and so the word is used for a plain, in opposition to mountains, in ( Jeremiah 9:10 ) , and then the sense is, that God led them through the sea, being dried up, as if they were led through a plain and open country, where was nothing to obstruct their march; an emblem of baptism, ( 1 Corinthians 10:1 1 Corinthians 10:2 ) , and of the passage of the people of God through this world; (See Gill on Psalms 78:13).

Salmos 106:9 In-Context

7 Cuando nuestros padres estaban en Egipto,no tomaron en cuenta tus maravillas;no tuvieron presente tu bondad infinitay se rebelaron junto al mar, el Mar Rojo.

8 Pero Dios los salvó, haciendo honor a su nombre,para mostrar su gran poder.

9 Reprendió al Mar Rojo, y este quedó seco;los condujo por las profundidades del marcomo si cruzaran el desierto.

10 Los salvó del poder de sus enemigos,del poder de quienes los odiaban.

11 Las aguas envolvieron a sus adversarios,y ninguno de estos quedó con vida.
