Exode 15:8 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 15:8

And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered
together
From the bottom of the sea, and divided and laid on heaps; and this by a strong east wind, called the blast of the nostrils of the Lord, because as easily brought by him as a man's breath or wind is drawn through his nostrils; and thus Christ with the breath of his mouth, and the brightness of his coming, will destroy antichrist, ( 2 Thessalonians 2:8 ) ( Isaiah 11:4 ) the floods stood upright as an heap;
though a fluid body, yet by the power of Christ were raised up and continued upright, firm and consistent; as things dry and solid may be laid and heaped up on one another, and remain firm and stable; and so did the waters of the sea, they stood like a wall, and were as firm as a rock; while the Israelites passed between them, they stood upright, and lift up their hands, as if they blessed them; or blessed God for the deliverance of them, or in admiration of it; see ( Exodus 14:22 ) ( Habakkuk 3:10 ) ,

Exode 15:8 In-Context

6 Ta droite, ô Éternel, est magnifique en force. Ta droite, ô Éternel, écrase l'ennemi.

7 Par la grandeur de ta majesté, tu renverses tes adversaires. Tu envoies ta colère, elle les consume comme le chaume.

8 Au souffle de tes narines les eaux se sont amoncelées; les courants se sont arrêtés comme une digue; les flots ont gelé au cœur de la mer.

9 L'ennemi avait dit: Je poursuivrai, j'atteindrai, je partagerai le butin; mon âme s'assouvira sur eux, je tirerai l'épée, ma main les détruira.

10 Tu as soufflé de ton haleine: la mer les a couverts; ils ont roulé comme le plomb, au fond des eaux puissantes.
