Éxodo 15:12

12 Extendiste tu brazo derecho,¡y se los tragó la tierra!

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 con un soplo tuyo se los tragó el mar;¡se hundieron como plomo en las aguas turbulentas!

11 ¿Quién, SEÑOR, se te compara entre los dioses?¿Quién se te compara en grandeza y santidad?Tú, hacedor de maravillas,nos impresionas con tus portentos.

12 Extendiste tu brazo derecho,¡y se los tragó la tierra!

13 Por tu gran amor guías al pueblo que has rescatado;por tu fuerza los llevas a tu santa morada.

14 Las naciones temblarán al escucharlo;la angustia dominará a los filisteos.
