8 Al soffio delle tue nari le acque si sono ammontate, le onde si son drizzate come un muro, i flutti si sono assodati nel cuore del mare.

Esodo 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 ) ,

Esodo 15:8 In-Context

6 La tua destra, o Eterno, è mirabile per la sua forza, la tua destra, o Eterno, schiaccia i nemici.
7 Con la grandezza della tua maestà, tu rovesci i tuoi avversari; tu scateni la tua ira, essa li consuma come stoppia.
8 Al soffio delle tue nari le acque si sono ammontate, le onde si son drizzate come un muro, i flutti si sono assodati nel cuore del mare.
9 Il nemico diceva: "Inseguirò, raggiungerò, dividerò le spoglie, la mia brama si sazierà su loro; sguainerò la mia spada, la mia mano li sterminerà";
10 ma tu hai mandato fuori il tuo soffio e il mare li ha ricoperti; sono affondati come piombo nelle acque potenti.
