8 Al soplido de tu aliento,
¡las aguas se apilaron!
El impetuoso oleaje se quedó firme como un muro;
en el corazón del mar las aguas se endurecieron.

Éxodo 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 ) ,

Éxodo 15:8 In-Context

6 »Tu mano derecha, oh Señor
,
es gloriosa en poder.
Tu mano derecha, oh Señor
,
aplasta al enemigo.

7 Con la grandeza de tu majestad,
derribas a los que se levantan contra ti.
Desatas tu ardiente furia
y los consume como a paja.

8 Al soplido de tu aliento,
¡las aguas se apilaron!
El impetuoso oleaje se quedó firme como un muro;
en el corazón del mar las aguas se endurecieron.

9 »El enemigo se jactaba diciendo:
“Los perseguiré
y los alcanzaré.
Los despojaré
y los consumiré.
Sacaré mi espada;
mi mano poderosa los destruirá”.

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