Commentary for Exodus 15:6
**Exodus 15:6** is part of the Song of Moses, which is a hymn of triumph and praise following the Israelites' deliverance from the Egyptians at the Red Sea. This verse specifically highlights the theme of God's might and protection.
**Themes:**
1. **Divine Power:** The verse emphasizes the strength and glory of God's "right hand," a symbol of divine power and intervention.
2. **Deliverance:** It celebrates God's victory over Pharaoh's army, symbolizing His ability to save His people from their enemies.
3. **Praise:** The song as a whole, including this verse, serves as a declaration of worship and exaltation of God for His mighty acts.
**Historical Context:**
The Song of Moses is set in the context of the Exodus, which is traditionally dated to around the 13th century BCE. The Israelites, who had been enslaved in Egypt, were pursued by Pharaoh's army after Moses led them out of slavery. God parted the Red Sea to allow the Israelites to escape, then caused the waters to return and drown the Egyptian forces. This event is seen as a pivotal moment in Israel's history, confirming God's promise to deliver His people and establish them as a nation.
The song itself is one of the oldest poetic texts in the Hebrew Bible and reflects an early stage of Israel's religious expression. It has been used liturgically by Jewish communities, particularly on the festival of Passover, which commemorates the Exodus.
