1Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to Yahweh, and they said,[#Literally “sons/children of Israel”; #Literally “and they said, saying”]
“Let me sing to Yahweh because he is highly exalted;
2Yah is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation;[#a shortened form of “Yahweh”; #Literally “he was for me for salvation”]
3Yahweh is a man of war; Yahweh is his name.
4The chariots of Pharaoh and his army he cast into the sea,
5The deep waters covered them;
6Yahweh, your right hand is glorious in power;
7And in the greatness of your majesty you overthrew those standing up to you;
8And by the breath of your nostrils waters were piled up;
9The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide plunder,
10You blew with your breath; the sea covered them;
11Who is like you among the gods, Yahweh?
12You stretched out your right hand;
13In your loyal love you led the people whom you redeemed;
14Peoples heard; they trembled;
15Then the chiefs of Edom were horrified; great distress seized the leaders of Moab;
16Terror and dread fell on them;
17You brought them and planted them on the mountain of your inheritance,
18Yahweh will reign as king forever and ever.”
19When the horses of Pharaoh came into the sea with his chariots and with his charioteers, Yahweh brought back upon them the waters of the sea, and the Israelites traveled on dry ground through the middle of the sea.[#Hebrew “horse”; #Hebrew “chariot”; #Literally “sons/children of Israel”]
20And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took her tambourine in her hand, and all of the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.[#Literally “the tambourine”]

22And Moses caused Israel to set out from the Red Sea, and they went out into the desert of Shur, and they traveled three days in the desert, and they did not find water.[#Literally “sea of reed”]
23And they came to Marah, and they were not able to drink water from Marah because it was bitter. Therefore it was named Marah.[#Literally “its name was called”; the Hebrew word for “bitter” is pronounced “marah”]
24And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
25And he cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh showed him a piece of wood, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There he made a rule and regulation for them, and there he tested them.
26And he said, “If you carefully listen to the voice of Yahweh your God and you do what is right in his eyes and give heed to his commands and you keep all his rules, then I will not bring about on you any of the diseases that I brought about on Egypt, because I am Yahweh your healer.[#Hebrew “disease”]
27And they came to Elim, and twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees were there, and they encamped there at the water.
