Êxodo 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 ) ,

Êxodo 15:8 In-Context

6 A tua destra, ó Senhor, é gloriosa em poder; a tua destra, ó Senhor, destroça o inimigo.

7 Na grandeza da tua excelência derrubas os que se levantam contra ti; envias o teu furor, que os devora como restolho.

8 Ao sopro dos teus narizes amontoaram-se as águas, as correntes pararam como montão; os abismos coalharam-se no coração do mar.

9 O inimigo dizia: Perseguirei, alcançarei, repartirei os despojos; deles se satisfará o meu desejo; arrancarei a minha espada, a minha mão os destruirá.

10 Sopraste com o teu vento, e o mar os cobriu; afundaram-se como chumbo em grandes aguas.
