Exodus Exodus 15:1-21
Israel's first hymn — the warrior named, the incomparable God, the first proclamation of his eternal reign — sung at the Red Sea and again, at the end, by the redeemed beside the sea of glass.
Exodus Exodus 14:15-31
The crossing is creation re-enacted — the Spirit-wind over the waters, the sea split, the dry land appearing — and out of it comes the nation's first corporate faith: the people feared YHWH and believed, the only verse in the canon to join those two words.
Exodus Exodus 14:1-14
Trapped between the chariots and the sea, Israel is given four verbs — stand firm, see, be silent, and YHWH will fight — because salvation is God's work, seen and received, not achieved; the word Moses spoke at the shore carries inside it the name of the Savior.
