y la tierra se tragó a nuestros enemigos.

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 Pero tú soplaste con tu aliento,
y el mar los cubrió.
Se hundieron como plomo
en las poderosas aguas.

11 »Oh Señor
, entre los dioses, ¿quién es como tú:
glorioso en santidad,
imponente en esplendor,
autor de grandes maravillas?

12 Levantaste tu mano derecha,
y la tierra se tragó a nuestros enemigos.

13 »Con tu amor inagotable
guías al pueblo que redimiste.
Con tu poder los guías
a tu hogar sagrado.

14 Lo oyen los pueblos y tiemblan;
la angustia se apodera de los que viven en Filistea.
