Esodo 15:3 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 15:3

The Lord is a man of war
A "man", which has respect to the future incarnation of Christ, for as yet he was not really man; though it was purposed, covenanted, agreed to, and prophesied of, that he should, as he after was; not a mere man, as appears by the following clause: "a man of war"; or a warrior; being engaged in war, and inured to it; having to do with very powerful enemies, Satan and his principalities and powers, the world, and the great men of it, antichrist, and all the antichristian states. A warrior well versed in all the arts of war, and abundantly qualified for it, having consummate wisdom, strength, and courage, and thoroughly furnished and accoutred for it; having on the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, the garment of vengeance, and cloak of zeal, and a vesture dipped in blood; and with a sword girt on his thigh, or drawn, or coming out of his mouth; and with a bow and arrows, going forth conquering, and to conquer; for he is a victorious one, who has conquered sin, Satan, and the world, and will subdue all others, and make his people more than conquerors, through him. He is not a common man of war or warrior; he is the Captain of the Lord's host, the Leader and Commander of the people, the Generalissimo of the armies in heaven and earth, and is a Prince and King at the head of them: the Lord is his name;
or Jehovah, which proves him to be more than a man; and being so, it is no wonder that he is so mighty, powerful, and victorious.

Esodo 15:3 In-Context

1 Allora Mosè e i figliuoli d’Israele cantarono questo cantico all’Eterno, e dissero così: "Io cantero all’Eterno perché si è sommamente esaltato; ha precipitato in mare cavallo e cavaliere.

2 L’Eterno è la mia forza e l’oggetto del mio cantico; egli è stato la mia salvezza. Questo è il mio Dio, io lo glorificherò; è l’Iddio di mio padre, io lo esalterò.

3 L’Eterno è un guerriero, il suo nome è l’Eterno.

4 Egli ha gettato in mare i carri di Faraone e il suo esercito, e i migliori suoi condottieri sono stati sommersi nel mar Rosso.

5 Gli abissi li coprono; sono andati a fondo come una pietra.
