Exode 15:14 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 15:14

And the people shall hear, and be afraid
What follows from hence to the end of the song is plainly prophetic, a prediction of future events; and this clause respects the case of all the nations of the earth, who should hear the report of the plagues, brought upon the Egyptians for the sake of Israel, and of their being brought out of Egypt, and of their being led through the Red sea as on dry land, and of the destruction of Pharaoh and his host in it, which report would strike a panic in all that heard it, throughout the whole world; as well as of what the Lord would after this do for them in the wilderness, see ( Deuteronomy 2:25 ) sorrow shall take hold of the inhabitants of Palestina;
which was adjoining to the land of Canaan, and through which in the common way their road lay to it.

Exode 15:14 In-Context

12 Tu as étendu ta droite; la terre les engloutit.

13 Tu as conduit par ta miséricorde ce peuple que tu as racheté; tu l'as dirigé par ta force vers ta sainte demeure.

14 Les peuples l'entendent, et ils tremblent; l'effroi saisit les habitants de la Palestine.

15 Alors les princes d'Édom sont troublés; le tremblement saisit les puissants de Moab; tous les habitants de Canaan désespèrent.

16 La frayeur et l'épouvante tomberont sur eux; par la grandeur de ton bras, ils deviendront muets comme la pierre, jusqu'à ce que ton peuple, ô Éternel, ait passé; jusqu'à ce qu'il ait passé, le peuple que tu as acquis.
