Exodus 15:10-11

Context

15:10 But 1  you blew with your breath, and 2  the sea covered them.

They sank 3  like lead in the mighty waters.

15:11 Who is like you, 4  O Lord, among the gods? 5 

Who is like you? – majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, 6  working wonders?

[15:10]  1 tn “But” has been supplied here.

[15:10]  2 tn Here “and” has been supplied.

[15:10]  3 tn The verb may have the idea of sinking with a gurgling sound, like water going into a whirlpool (R. A. Cole, Exodus [TOTC], 124; S. R. Driver, Exodus, 136). See F. M. Cross and D. N. Freedman, “The Song of Miriam,” JNES 14 (1955): 243-47.

[15:11]  4 tn The question is of course rhetorical; it is a way of affirming that no one is comparable to God. See C. J. Labuschagne, The Incomparability of Yahweh in the Old Testament, 22, 66-67, and 94-97.

[15:11]  5 sn Verses 11-17 will now focus on Yahweh as the incomparable one who was able to save Israel from their foes and afterward lead them to the promised land.

[15:11]  6 tn S. R. Driver suggests “praiseworthy acts” as the translation (Exodus, 137).
