The Song of Miriam

20 Then Miriam ^athe prophetess, ^bthe sister of Aaron, ^ctook the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her ^dwith timbrels and with dances.

21 And Miriam ^aanswered them:
^b“Sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!”

Bitter Waters Made Sweet

22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of ^aShur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no ^bwater.

23 Now when they came to ^aMarah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called¹ Marah.

Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

Exodus

EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
