Éxodo 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.

Éxodo 15:12 In-Context

10 Soplaste con tu viento, los cubrió el mar; se hundieron como plomo en las aguas poderosas.

11 ¿Quién como tú entre los dioses, oh SEÑOR? ¿Quién como tú, majestuoso en santidad, temible en las alabanzas, haciendo maravillas?

12 Extendiste tu diestra, los tragó la tierra.

13 En tu misericordia has guiado al pueblo que has redimido; con tu poder los has guiado a tu santa morada.

14 Lo han oído los pueblos y tiemblan; el pavor se ha apoderado de los habitantes de Filistea.
